The city of Calgary has officially shifted the drought monitoring dial from normal to dry conditions based on the ongoing monitoring of precipitation levels, reservoirs and lake levels, stream flow rates in rivers, and water demand.
Under the dry conditions, water restrictions are still voluntary for Calgarians & currently no mandatory water restrictions are in place.“Despite the moments of intense rainfall through July, our monitoring team continues to see impacts of this year’s dry conditions across Calgary and the region,” said Water Resources Planner Sarah Marshall.
To reduce the strain on Calgary’s rivers and water treatment plants, the city suggests cutting down the number of times a week you water your lawn and watering before 7 a.m. or later in the evening. Avoid washing your sidewalks, driveways, siding, outdoor furniture and leave the grass two to three inches high and add mulch to garden beds to reduce evaporation. Lastly, they recommend capturing rainwater in a rain barrel for use in the garden.
