Stage 2 water restrictions will continue until mid-November in Fernie as rehabilitation work on the Fairy Creek Reservoir winds down.
Crews have been repairing interior and exterior concrete and installing new cladding over the structure.
To complete the work, the reservoir had to be partially drained.
Stage 2 water restrictions have been in place since Sept. 16.
“It is important that we all behave responsibly and ensure we minimize our water usage and not use it for unnecessary purposes,” said Mayor Nic Milligan.
While the city notes that outdoor use isn’t much of a factor at this time of the year, residents are asked to be mindful of their indoor water use.
