Calgarians continue to conserve water but the mayor wants city residents to try to do a little better.
In her Saturday morning update, the mayor said Friday’s water use came in at 462 million litres, which meant another day below the city’s threshold level.
“That’s good,” said Gondek, “But I know we can do better.
“If we could cut the use a little, that would give us a little more latitude in case of an emergency.”
Gondek said repairs to five hotspots are progressing on schedule, with a hopeful target date for the Stampede Parade still in sight.
With a hot, sunny weekend ahead, he asked city residents to hold off on watering lawns and gardens a little longer.
And if you’re planning to enjoy a sunny afternoon on a patio, he suggested visiting one in Bowness, where businesses have seen a decline in business since the water main began breaking several weeks ago.
The next update from the city is scheduled for 2 pm on Saturday, where city experts will go into more detail about the progress of the repairs.
