Emergency officials issued a dire warning to Calgarians on Friday as a water supply emergency — brought on by a massive water main break earlier in the week — still has no timeline to be resolved.

“This current level of water use cannot continue, … [or we will be] at risk of running out,” said Nancy Mackay, the City of Calgary’s water services director. “We must all further reduce our water use to effectively use our remaining water supply.”

Mackay joined Susan Henry, the chief of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, for a news conference on Friday morning to provide an update on the water issue that first arose Wednesday night.

Calgarians were asked to stop using water outdoors – unless for health and safety-related reasons – and to do their best to minimize water use indoors on Thursday. Now, officials are asking for a further 25 per cent reduction.
