Fresh water is precious resource on the West Coast, while Ucluelet’s water reserve is healthy, we encourage sustainable water practices.
How To Be Water Wise:
-Take a shorter shower
-Re-use towels and linens
-Flush the toilet only when necessary “if its yellow- let it settle, if its… well, you know the rest 🙂 ”
-Turn off the water while brushing your teeth
-Where possible, keep a cool jug of water in the fridge instead of running the tap
-When dining out, consider ordering water by the glass instead of a carafe, to avoid waste
As of August 31st at 5pm, HWY 4 at Cameron Lakes will be FULLY open to double lane traffic.
