Calgary, AB – The city’s water consumption has once again decreased on Saturday, prompting officials to consider increasing the flow. According to data from the City of Calgary, water usage dropped by 2.5 percent compared to the previous Saturday.
This decrease in water consumption is a positive trend, as the city has been actively promoting water conservation efforts. In fact, the city has set a goal to reduce water consumption by 30 percent by 2022.
The decrease in water usage can be attributed to the recent cooler weather and rain, which has reduced the need for outdoor watering. However, officials are still urging residents to continue their water conservation efforts, as the city is still facing a water shortage.
In light of the decrease in water consumption, the city is considering increasing the flow of water in order to replenish the reservoirs. This decision will be made after careful consideration of the current water levels and future weather forecasts.
The city has also implemented various measures to encourage water conservation, such as offering rebates for low-flow toilets and showerheads, as well as implementing a tiered pricing system for water usage.
Residents are reminded to be mindful of their water usage and to only use what is necessary. Simple actions such as fixing leaks and turning off the tap while brushing teeth can make a significant impact on water conservation efforts.
The city will continue to monitor water consumption and make necessary adjustments to ensure a sustainable water supply for the future. As we all work together to conserve water, we can ensure that Calgary remains a thriving and environmentally responsible city.
