CVRD adds Stage 5 water restriction

environment · August 12, 2026 · Comox Valley Regional District

The Comox Valley Regional District has revised its water conservation bylaw to add a Stage 5 restriction in response to worsening drought conditions. The change may affect island water users covered by CVRD services or regulations.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
