Water rationing extends as county council approves 60 percent cap
Cypress County Council unanimously backed a water conservation pact limiting non irrigation water license holders to 60 percent of their allocations. The binding plan covers the St Mary Belly and Waterton River Basins and mirrors a 2001 drought approach. Rationing began for irrigation users in April and now applies to all SMRID water system users. Senior licenses dating to 1899 give priority, a factor driving the need for shared supply among municipalities.
