Cranbrook, BC (September 9, 2026) – Effective on Monday, September 14 2026, water restrictions for those residents on Cranbrook’s water system return to Stage 1 until further notice.
This means that even numbered properties may water Monday, Thursday, and Saturday; odd numbered properties may water Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday between 5am and 10am or between 8pm and 11pm – not both. There is no watering on Wednesdays.
“With the precipitation the area has received over the last several days, and lower water consumption we’ve been seeing, Phillips Reservoir has recovered and water is spilling over the spillway again,” says Jason Perrault, Deputy Director of Public Works. “We feel comfortable with moving the water restrictions back to Stage 1.”
Even with the shift back to Stage 1 water restrictions, it remains crucial that we as a community continue to work together to protect and conserve our City’s precious water supply, by continuing to water wisely and only using the water you need.
