CALGARY — City officials say they have found a way to ease some of the strain on Calgary's water system while a major pipe is again shut down for repairs.

CALGARY — City officials say they have found a way to ease some of the strain on Calgary 's water system while a major pipe is again shut down for repairs.

That's up from the 450 million litres it had previously been targeting but well below the 600 million litres the city typically consumes every day. "While it's positive that we are able to move more water with our new configuration, it's imperative that we do all we can to reduce our water use and have demand drop to more sustainable levels," Thompson told a news conference Tuesday.

"We are unable to replenish the underground storage tanks in your neighbourhoods overnight and we are at a greater risk of running out of water before the urgent repairs are complete and the feeder main is brought back into service."
