“We keep it dry”

A dramatic photo of the intake channel, taken Aug. 22, shows the low level of Chapman Lake, the source of water for most Coast residents. The SCRD has declared Stage 4 water restrictions as of Aug. 31, which essentially bans all outdoor use of tap water, even water that is carried from inside your house. A water park in Gibsons has been closed and the hot tub in the aquatic centre in Sechelt will close as of Friday. This is the fourth time that Stage 4 has been used in the past seven years: in 2015 it was invoked in mid-August, while in 2012 and 2017 it came into effect in early October. Drought is defined as “a period of below-average precipitation” resulting in a water shortage. See story page 3. PHOTO SUBMITTED
