The entire South Okanagan has activated Stage 1 watering restrictions after a dry winter.
The restrictions are active across every electoral area and water system operated by the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen, the Village of Keremeos, the Towns of Oliver and Osoyoos and the City of Penticton.
The RDOS is asking for all users to reduce their water usage by 10 per cent.
The province saw a dry winter that left snowpack levels below the yearly average, which is fueling expectations of a drought declaration.
The International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control has already seen the flow forecast reach levels required for a drought declaration for Osoyoos Lake.
