Revised sprinkling restrictions
The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has increased the current sprinkling regulations for the 108 Mile Ranch due to the over use by a some residents.
Hopefully, most people have received the latest public notice from the CRD.
Sprinkling is now allowed for even-numbered addresses on even-numbered days, and odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered days.
Sprinkling times are 6 to 8 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.
The CRD has received a report from consultant Kala Geosciences about the Sepa and 108 lakes concerning the community wells, the aquifer, the condition of the system and its ability to supply the 108 with a sustainable water system.
Hopefully, the CRD will call a meeting this fall to bring us all up to date, and it would be a good meeting to attend.
Folks interested in more information can go to the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca or call 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636.
