Calgary·Coming Up
Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek will be joined by other city councillors to provide an update on the status of repairs to the Bearspaw feeder main as well as water usage across the city.
Calgary used 509 million litres of water Sunday
The City of Calgary provides an update on the June 5 water feeder main rupture that affected its treated water supply.
Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek will be joined by other city councillors Monday to provide an update on the status of repairs to the Bearspaw feeder main as well as water usage across the city.
Calgarians used 509 million litres of water on Sunday, up from 496 million litres the previous day and after a week of consistent daily use at or above 500 million litres.
The city says it cannot sustain distributing more than 500 million litres of water across Calgary per day without significant risk to its water system.
Its target is less than 485 million litres of daily water use, a figure officials say the city’s water system can sustain until the major feeder main comes back online later this month. Using more than 485 million litres per day puts strain on Calgary’s water infrastructure, officials say.
