Paul Friesen says you should detach garden hoses from hose bibs to prevent the water line from freezing.
Water pressure was successfully raised at the Bearspaw feeder main, and no issues were detected in the pipe, the City of Calgary's director of capital priorities and investment, Francois Bouchart, said Tuesday.Calgarians are still unable to use their outdoor water hose to water plants and lawns under Stage 3 restrictions.
Earlier this week, the city said Calgary is moving cautiously toward Stage 2 water restrictions by bringing online another pump at the Bearspaw feeder main. The city's aim is to ratchet down to Stage 2 restrictions by Thursday. "This means that irrigation companies can now run water through the pipes of in-ground sprinkler systems if they are fixing irrigation lines," Bouchart said.
The city used 558 million litres of water on Monday, an increase from Sunday, but still within the limits that the city can provide.
