With water levels in the Oldman River Reservoir sitting at just over 30 per cent and another drought-like summer predicted, the City of Lethbridge is looking to take steps before the situation worsens.

A new water conservation policy brought forward to Thursday’s economic standing policy committee looks at voluntary programs that could help elevate the demand for water in the city and cut water use by 20 per cent by 2030.

The third part of the policy would focus on regulations, introduce a new water rationing plan and include four stages. The plan would be used when action needs to be taken to reduce water usage when supply is low. The third stage prohibits the filling of pools, ponds and hot tubs, along with the use of irrigation sprinklers. Only watering by hand would be allowed.According to the city, in July 2023, water usage in Lethbridge would have drained Henderson Lake approximately five times.
