Okanagan Moved to Drought Level Two
As municipalities around the Okanagan have implemented water restrictions, the region’s drought level has increased to level two.
The continued effects of the 2023 drought, combined with low snowpack, little rain and higher than normal temperatures have created “very dry” conditions, according to a press release today, May 16, from the Okanagan Basin Water Board.
The board said Okanagan water purveyors should be monitoring water supplies and customer demands and prepare for drought conditions throughout the summer.
