Metro Vancouver has issued stage 3 water restrictions, effective immediately due to the hot, and dry summer the 604 is currently experiencing.

According to the notice, all residents across metro Vancouver are banned from:
- Sprinkling their lawn
- Washing your vehicles on your property, or boats
- Filling personal swimming pools and hot tubs
- Private and commercial pressure washing
- Watering vegetables gardens, flowers, and trees with the use of a sprinkler or hose.
