The Westbank First Nation Waterworks Law (2005-16) is in effect, which also includes year-round water restrictions. These conservation measures are in place to help reduce peaks in water use and to reduce the high demands on our water delivery system at any given time.

This allows the system to keep up with the demands for clean drinking water, irrigation, commercial use and gives it the ability to store water for future use. (i.e. in case of local fires). Assigned daily water conservation measures help us use water wisely so that we can continue to support the sufficient water for other uses such as:

Supporting sufficient streamflow that is required for the health of fish and other aquatic species
Wildfire fighting
Domestic users
Agricultural needs to help avoid crop damage and shortages in water supply for livestock.

Watch the WFN website for water restrictions in the summer months.

WFN Law Enforcement Officers will be issuing fines up to $300, to anyone watering outside of watering regulations.
