Calgary’s mayor is advising residents to be cautious in resuming regular water usage.
Jyoti Gondek explains that although all restrictions on indoor water use have been lifted, the city is not fully operational just yet, and a ban on outdoor watering remains in effect.
Gondek mentions that crews are currently working on stabilizing a new pipe that replaced a water main that ruptured a month ago, prompting residents to reduce water usage by 25 percent.
She adds that a reservoir supplying water to the city is currently operating at half capacity to avoid overwhelming the new pipe.
The goal is to have the system stabilized by the end of the week.
On July 5, the city will welcome thousands of visitors as the annual Calgary Stampede summer fair kicks off with a parade.
