I've heard that they are pretty restrictive on when you can water your lawn. I remember last year when we had a bit of a drought, I think I heard that Okotoks residents were not allowed to water theirs at all. Okotoks gets its water from the Sheep River?

Water regulations will be going in effect either May 1 or June 1. That will detail on what days you can water and what hours. I believe they have water regulations like that every year.
They have had past problems with drinking water, but usually only in spring when high run off or flooding has been the culprit. I know that during the big floods in June of 2005, they had water boiling advisories as did other towns of similar size, like Cochrane. I believe they are expanding their water treatment facilities or already have done so.
