STAGE 4 WATER RESTRICTIONS (BYLAW NO. 684-2023)
Stage 4 is an emergency stage that limits both indoor and outdoor water uses as much as
possible to ensure an adequate supply of drinking water for human consumption, use in
firefighting and to protect the quality of drinking water within the water system for public
health.
Stage 4 is activated based on the rare occurrence of a significant emergency, such as an
earthquake, flood, wild land and interface fire, severe weather, or a prolonged regional power
outage that causes significant impacts to the water system infrastructure (e.g. damage to major
water transmission lines, pump stations, or treatment plants).
In addition to the following outdoor water restrictions, Metro Vancouver could request that
industrial water users implement voluntary reductions or reschedule production processes that
consume large amounts of water until Stage 4 is deactivated.
