You can help water the Heritage Courtyard trees

by

Owners and tenants are invited to help water the trees in the Heritage Courtyard.

Two hoses have been placed and each is equipped with a hand-operated nozzle. This means you must actively engage the nozzle for the water to come out–this is a requirement of the Stage 3 Water Restrictions which came into effect on June 8 throughout Metro Vancouver.

If you water the trees, thank you! Please coil and put the hoses back when you’re done. There’s no need to turn the water off or on, as the nozzles will insure the water does not leak out.

One of the two hoses, coiled up and ready to be used.
