City of Calgary officials are seeing a concerning trend in water usage over the previous two days as the city continues to deal with a shortage, following a water main break that led to the discovery of more damaged pipelines.
"It's expected to be a hot weekend. So, let's make sure that we're trying to conserve water as much as possible," Mayor Jyoti Gondek said.
"With hot weather coming this weekend, we need to keep our water usage down. And that means finding smart ways to stay cool. If you're a popsicle person, make sure you have stocked up your freezer. Or maybe this weekend is a good time to catch a show or head to a gallery," Gondek added.
In the meantime, health officials are warning citizens about the use of non-potable water.
"I want to stress that this water is not intended for consumption. We should not be using it to drink, for brushing our teeth, for anything entering the body," Alberta Health Services Medical Officer of Health Dr. Franco Rizzuti emphasized.
"Don't be using non-potable water for any outdoor activity. So, if you have a little kiddie pool that you're collecting rainwater in, children should not be playing in it," Rizzuti added.
