Calgary water use remains in ‘green zone’ as Bearspaw feeder main work progresses
Calgary and neighbouring communities have now recorded five consecutive days in the 'green zone' with water use remaining below the city’s target of 500 million litres a day.
Calgary's water usage remains within the city's target range as crews work on connecting the new Bearspaw South Feeder Main. The city has recorded five consecutive days of water consumption below the 500 million litres per day target, with usage at 482 million litres on Friday, 483 million litres on Saturday, and 487 million litres on Sunday.
Lower consumption is crucial during construction to ensure sufficient water for essential services and firefighting. Crews are currently preparing three sites along the feeder-main route, with excavation and connection work expected to begin soon. Water restrictions are anticipated to remain in place for at least three and a half more weeks until the new pipe is commissioned.
