Water Policy – Water is a commodity here at Salt Spring Island that is precious, expensive and often in very short supply. We encourage our guests to arrive with enough fresh water for the duration of their stay. That said, we do understand that we all need water for our daily lives. Rather than simply say that we can’t supply our guests with water we have developed a water plan that will hopefully meet most peoples needs. The Island Trust announces our water restriction level every day. There are 4 levels, 1 being the least restrictive and 4 being the most. With each stay here at Ganges Marina we will supply water to our guests based on the restriction level for that day.

Level 1 & 2 – At these levels we will supply each boat with 100 litres (30 US gallons) of fresh water per stay. Water will be dispensed between 10-11 am or 3-4 pm each day. if you require additional water, up to 500 litres (150 US gallons) can be purchased for $0.04 (CAD) per litre.

Level 3 & 4 – At these levels we will supply each boat with 50 litres (15 US gallons) of fresh water per stay. Water will be dispensed between 10-11 am or 3-4 pm each day. If you require additional water, up to 250 litres (75 US gallons) can be purchased for $0.08 (CAD) per litre.
