Water use in Calgary has now stayed below the city’s target for a full week as Calgary enters its second week of Stage 4 water restrictions. The restrictions are in place as work to fix the Bearspaw South feeder main continues. The city says water demand needs to stay below 500 million litres per day to continue providing reliable water service, maintain enough water for fighting fires and keep the water system working well. On Tuesday, water use was 473 million litres. Thursday’s water use was 475 million litres. “Let’s keep the green streak alive over the next three weeks of work,” the city said in a Thursday news release. Restrictions in place While work on the Bearspaw South feeder main continues, no outdoor water use is permitted, including the flooding of outdoor rinks. Residents and businesses are also urged to reduce their indoor water use. Three ways citizens are advised to take to reduce their water usage include: Calgarians aren’t the only ones being asked to reduce their water use — the plea applies to those in Airdrie, Chestermere, Strathmore and Tsuut’ina Nation.
