2025 Summer Watering Restrictions Now in Effect

Effective June 1 – September 15, 2025

Why We’re Taking Action

Our hot, dry Cariboo summers put extra pressure on Clinton’s water system. Seasonal watering restrictions help protect the aquifer, ensure reservoir fire-flow capacity, and keep our community resilient through peak demand.
