This spring, the City of Calgary is shutting down the Bearspaw South Feeder Main for reinforcement work. During this time it will be critical for residents and businesses to use less water since the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant will supply most of the city and region and will be operating at maximum capacity.
No outdoor water use will be permitted at this time. This means our outdoor rinks will continue to remain shut down for the remainder of the season. The City of Calgary is also urging Calgarians to take steps to reduce their indoor water use.
Top three ways to help save water indoors:
We’re asking residents of Douglasdale, Douglas Glen and Quarry Park to focus on taking the following three actions that we know make the biggest difference to household water consumption.
Only flush when needed
Skipping three flushes per day saves about 30 liters.
Take 3-minute showers
Every one minute you save in the shower saves up to 8 liters of water.
Run full loads of laundry only
Only run the washing machine and dishwasher with full loads.
