CALGARY — Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is urging residents to continue cutting their water use or risk having it run out as crews fix a massive break in a feeder line.“As we are drawing down on those , that’s where we’re going to get to a point where we run out of water if we don’t start practising some conservation," Gondek told reporters Friday afternoon.
Nancy Mackay, director of water services for the city, said it's now relying on one plant to produce water. Bowness, the neighbourhood directly affected, was under a boil water advisory while the rest of the city, and surrounding communities of Chestermere, Airdrie and Strathmore, were directed to follow a mix of mandatory and voluntary measures.
Residents were also asked to reduce indoor water use by taking shorter showers, doing less laundry and dishes, and flushing toilets fewer times.
