Community Water Conservation Notice
The Village of Alert Bay and ‘Na̱mg̱is First Nation are encouraging residents and businesses connected to local water systems to help reduce non-essential water use as drought conditions continue to affect Vancouver Island and communities across British Columbia.
As an island community supplied by a groundwater aquifer, our local water supply depends heavily on rainfall and natural recharge. Conserving water now helps protect our shared water source throughout the summer months and may reduce the need for stronger restrictions later in the season.
Residents are encouraged to follow voluntary outdoor watering recommendations and be mindful of everyday water use.
✔️ Water during recommended hours
✔️ Avoid unnecessary outdoor water use
✔️ Delay pressure washing where possible
✔️ Turn off taps and hoses when not in use
✔️ Water gardens efficiently and repair leaks
📅 Please review the notice for the recommended watering schedule and conservation tips.

Effective at 12 p.m. PDT on Thursday, May 7, Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 open fires are prohibited across the Coastal Fire Centre. The exception is the Haida Gwaii Forest District, where Category 1 campfires are permitted.

These measures are being taken to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires associated with open burning activities.

This prohibition will remain in place until October 31, 2026, or until it is rescinded.

Always check with your local government before burning, as they may have their own prohibitions in place.
