    Stage 4 watering restrictions remain in effect until further notice so no washing of cars, filling of hot tubs, etc for a while yet. The three days of rain have not been enough and the province drought rating remains at Level 5 (the highest level) for eastern Vancouver Island.

    The non-potable water comes from a well in the industrial park. Where possible, we have used this as a source for outdoor watering for many years.
