Metro Vancouver residents are being urged to conserve water as daily consumption across the region reached near-record levels over the weekend.
A statement from Metro Vancouver says daily water consumption hit 1.79 billion litres on Sunday, just shy of the all-time high set in 2009, when almost two billion litres were used on a single summer day.
Metro Vancouver says that, as of yesterday, drinking water reservoirs are within normal levels, but the continued hot, dry weather, along with unchecked demand for wate, will quickly deplete the region's storage reserves.
Lawn watering restrictions are currently in place, limiting watering to twice weekly, and violators could be fined 250 dollars for ignoring the rules.
