The city of Coquitlam wants the help of residents to keep its trees healthy.
As it has the previous three years, Coquitlam has installed watering bags on city trees during the summer. Staff fill the bags every two weeks to provide an efficient and effective way to deliver water to the trees but during dry spells, the city wouldn't mind if residents topped them up.
"If the water level looks low, simply lift up the tag at the top of the bag to expose the fill opening, then insert your hose and fill it up," said a city news release.
The city said approximately 3,000 trees have the bags, which will be removed in the fall.
For questions about the program, call the parks department at 604-927-6300 or email [email protected].
