Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek warned residents Wednesday that water usage following a catastrophic feeder main break is creeping up from a low of 440-million litres on Saturday, adding “that’s not great.”

“While we are staying under the threshold that is critical to ensure that we have enough water for all of us, this gradual increase is increasingly becoming a concern,” she said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Gondek emphasized the need to conserve water as repair work continues the feeder line, which has forced Calgarians across the city to cut down drastically on their water usage.

"You and I, and all the people and the pets and the plants that we love so much, need water to survive. It is absolutely our source of life. And that's worth the sacrifice that all of you are making,” she said.

A boil water advisory in the neighbourhood of Bowness was lifted Monday, but water restrictions remain in place, with Calgarians across the city being told top stop using water outdoors and to do their best to minimize outdoor water use.

City officials have described the broken feeder main as a "critical water transmission line" and note the damage has "severely impacted" Calgary's water supply, as well as the ability to move water across the city.
