CALGARY — Calgary's mayor said it's unfortunate residents seem to have abandoned conservation efforts days before full water service is expected to be restored.
She said if Calgarians don't bring down their use over the long weekend by 25 per cent firefighters may not have enough to battle blazes. "I have been using a bucket of water saved from the shower to do dishes that we have in the house. I have had to skip showers to conserve water. I understand what you are all going through because I'm in this with all of you," she said.She said daily water usage crept up the entire week, and Thursday's use was the highest since the city imposed its mix of voluntary and mandatory restrictions.
Outdoor water use has been banned. Residents have been encouraged to rely on rainwater for their gardens.
