When did we go to Stage 4?

Here is a helpful graph produced by SCRD staff showing when water restrictions were activated over the last decade. Blue is Stage 1, yellow is Stage 2, orange is Stage 3 and red is Stage 4.

As you can see, there is a big variation from year to year in terms of weather conditions and water supply, and seasonal droughts are stretching later into the fall.

In case you have trouble reading the small print, here are the historical dates for Stage 4.

  • 2012 – October 4 – October 15
  • 2015 – August 23 – Sept. 3
  • 2017 – October 3-27
  • 2018 – August 23 – Sept. 13
  • 2021 – August 20 – Sept. 19
  • 2022 – August 31 – December 13
  • 2023 – September 8-26
