Calgary’s voluntary indoor water use can return to normal, Mayor Jyoti Gondek said Tuesday, urging Calgarians to ease back into their regular water-use habits.
“Staggering their laundry is still something that would be very beneficial,” she said.
In a regular update on Tuesday morning, Gondek said this marks the first step toward completely restoring the water supply and lifting remaining restrictions.
However, the city remains under a state of local emergency and outdoor Stage 4 water restrictions remain in place as crews determine how the system will respond to the easing of indoor conservation measures.
The City of Calgary’s general manager of infrastructure services Michael Thompson said the Bearspaw south feeder main is operating at 50 per cent capacity for now.
“We’re not completely out of the woods yet,” said Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver.
