On May 1, Metro Vancouver will skip Stage 1 of water restrictions and move straight to Stage 2. “We really need folks to pay attention to that outdoor use this year,” Linda Parkinson with Metro Vancouver Water Services said on Friday.

Officials say it is unprecedented this early in the year to move to Stage 2, but with a dry forecast and a low snowpack, it is necessary.

“Like the province announced on Friday, we’re also being told to prepare for drought conditions this summer,” Parkinson said.

“So we’re looking at an El Niño summer.”
