The City of Calgary will provide an update on the rehabilitation and impacts of the Bearspaw feeder main shutdown on Monday morning as Calgarians are once again under strict water use rules.
Starting Monday, Calgarians and area residents are being told to change the way they use their water as city crews embark on a major project to repair a large feeder main ahead of winter.
All outdoor water use is banned, including using hoses with spray nozzles, hand watering and watering new grass.People are also asked to cut back on laundry, dishes and toilet flushing, with the aim of using 25 per cent less water than usual. The city warns that using more than 450 million litres of tap water a day could deplete underground reserves, leading to a city-wide boil water advisory and other challenges.Construction is set to last until Sept. 23.First-year University of Calgary students feel the squeeze of student housing shortageThe Liberal government says it plans to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada in an effort to fight 'fraud' and 'misuse' of the program.
