CALGARY — City officials say Calgarians are getting better at cutting down on their water use, but need to do more to stop the taps from potentially running dry.That's above the 450-million-litre cap the city needs to stay under while a major water main that burst in June undergoes further repairs.
Calgarians are banned from using sprinklers and hoses with potable water and are being urged to cut their use indoors by taking three-minute showers, holding off on toilet flushes and running fewer dishwasher and laundry loads.
