On Sunday, the city of Calgary successfully managed to keep water usage under control, despite the hot and dry weather conditions.
According to the latest data from the city’s water department, the average water consumption on Sunday was 1.2 billion litres, which is within the city’s target range. This is a significant decrease from the previous day, where water usage reached 1.4 billion litres.
The city has been closely monitoring water usage as temperatures continue to rise and the demand for water increases. The hot and dry weather has led to an increase in outdoor water usage, such as watering lawns and gardens, which can put a strain on the city’s water supply.
To combat this, the city has implemented a number of measures to encourage residents to conserve water. This includes a voluntary odd-even watering schedule, where residents are asked to only water their lawns and gardens on designated days based on their address.
In addition, the city has also launched a public awareness campaign to educate residents on the importance of water conservation and ways to reduce water usage. This includes tips on how to use water more efficiently, such as fixing leaks and using drought-resistant plants in gardens.
The efforts of the city and its residents have paid off, as water usage has remained within the target range for the past few days. This is crucial as the city continues to face hot and dry weather, and it is important to conserve water to ensure a sustainable supply for the future.
The city’s water department reminds residents to continue to be mindful of their water usage and to follow the odd-even watering schedule. By working together, we can ensure that Calgary’s water supply remains under control during these challenging weather conditions.
