The City of Chestermere has been informed of a water main break within the City of Calgary, which has impacted water supply. As a result, the City of Calgary has issued Stage 4 Water Restrictions.
During this period, we are requesting residents immediately restrict water usage to essential use ONLY to help conserve water. At this time, all outdoor water use is temporarily banned. We are kindly asking residents to refrain from the following activities:
– Water lawns, gardens and shrubs through any method.
– Wash down exterior surfaces unless required for health or safety.
– Wash cars on driveways or streets
– Fill hot tubs, pools, or decorative features.
– Using water for purposes such as grading, compaction or dust control.
As a result of this Water Main Break, the City of Chestermere is also implementing a voluntary water restriction. To ensure we share the water currently available, we are asking Chestermere to immediately restrict their indoor water use by taking the following voluntary actions:- Using your dishwasher and washing machine only when required and with full loads
– Turning off the tap when brushing teeth or shaving
– Limiting showers to 5 minutes or less and keeping baths shallow
– Scraping plates clean rather than rinsing food off
– Turning off humidifiers and ice machines, and delay the washing of vehicles and the filling of hot tubs and swimming pools.
Further updates and information will be posted on our social media and website as they become available.
