The City of Kimberley is moving to Stage 3 watering restrictions starting on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
City staff said the ongoing hot and dry weather has made it necessary.
Under Stage 3, watering lawns by homes or businesses is not allowed, but watering of gardens, shrubs, trees and flower beds is still permitted.
Hosing or pressure washing outdoor surfaces is only allowed for health and safety reasons, or for painting preparation.
All decorative fountains must be shut down.
Temperatures in Kimberley are forecasted to remain in the low 30s through next week.
