Calgary officials announce they are "one giant step closer to restoring full water usage" | FULL

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek on Tuesday announced that the city is “one giant step closer to returning to full water usage,” adding that residents can now return to “regular indoor water usage,” but would like residents to "ease into it."

Gondek said Calgarians are able to return to normal indoor water consumption because the Bearspaw feeder main that was catastrophically damaged on June 5 is now operating at 50 per cent capacity.

"We look forward to slowly restoring outdoor water use as we continue to monitor the system's stabilization process," she added.

While the city had never restricted indoor water use, officials have pleaded with Calgarians for weeks to conserve water indoors so that the city’s supply does not run out. Restrictions on outdoor water use and a fire ban remained in effect on Tuesday.
