Are we restricting lawn sprinkling at VGH?

Due to unseasonably dry and hot weather, Metro Vancouver has further restricted water use, including lawn sprinkling. On the VGH campus, we’re helping to conserve water by programming our lawn sprinkling to operate at well below Metro Vancouver limits. Here’s how:

As a non-residential water consumer, VGH is permitted to water our lawns for a total 5 hours per week from 1 to 6 am. Our campus lawn sprinklers operate at 2 am — and for just 10 minutes per day. That’s a grand total of only 70 minutes of watering per week.

Please note: Metro Vancouver’s sprinkling limits don’t apply to flower/garden beds.
