CLARESHOLM, AB – Residents in and around Claresholm are told to conserve their water usage.

The Town of Claresholm has announced that Stage 2 Water Restrictions are now in place.

The municipality said in a social media post on Monday, July 10, 2023, “Due to a continued trend of falling water levels in the Pine Coulee Reservoir, the Town of Claresholm and the Municipal District of Willow Creek have implemented Stage 2 water restrictions. This water restriction impacts the Town of Claresholm, Hamlet of Granum and the Willow Creek West Waterworks System.”

In these communities, watering days are reduced from three days per week to two days per week, depending on your address, user group, and the activity you are using the water for.

Watering is not allowed between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. unless your user group and activity allow otherwise.

Just-placed new lawns and landscaping require a permit. The Town of Claresholm said no new permits for seeding or sod will be issued until September 1, 2023.
