City thanks residents and businesses for keeping water use in the green zone

Yesterday’s water use was 496 million litres, putting us in the green zone for the second day in a row. Thank you, Calgary and our surrounding neighbours, for all your water-saving efforts. They make a huge difference.

We are asking everyone to save 25 litres of water per person, per day, by:

• Flushing toilets only when needed.
• Keeping showers to three minutes or less.
• Running dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads.

By continuing these daily actions over the next three weeks of work, we can keep the green streak going and reduce risk to our system while the Bearspaw South Feeder Main is out of service.

Construction and traffic update

Crews continue to make progress on the planned reinforcement of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main.

We are reinforcing a total of nine pipe segments:

• Six segments on 16 Avenue N.W., near Sarcee Trail
• Three segments in Point McKay Park 

Today, crews are finishing rebar installation on the final pipe segments, and concrete pours will continue through the rest of the week. Concrete is already curing on completed sections, and once done, crews will begin backfilling around the pipe.

There continues to be active construction and traffic accommodations near worksites. Please plan ahead, follow posted signage and give our crews space to work safely. Stay informed
