<\/p>\nCalgary\u2019s water demand stayed below the city\u2019s conservation target Thursday, marking the fourth straight day the system has remained in the \u201cgreen zone\u201d since Stage 4 water restrictions took effect Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Data from the City of Calgary\u2019s Water Demand Dashboard, updated early Friday, shows water use reached about 482 million litres Thursday, staying below the 500-million-litre daily demand threshold officials set while the Bearspaw South Feeder Main is shut down for reinforcement work.<\/p>\n
The City said in a Thursday update that Wednesday\u2019s water demand was 489 million litres, also within the target range.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince restrictions came into effect on Monday, water use has stayed in the green zone every day,\u201d the City said.<\/p>\n
The target is intended to reduce strain on the water system while the feeder main remains temporarily out of service.<\/p>\n
The feeder main \u2014 a major pipeline carrying treated water from Calgary\u2019s Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant \u2014 was shut down earlier this week so crews can reinforce nine pipe segments.<\/p>\n
According to the City, six segments are located along 16 Avenue N.W. near Sarcee Trail, while three are at Point McKay Park.<\/p>\n
Additional work is also underway along 33 Avenue N.W., where crews are repairing valves and preparing for the future connection of a new steel feeder main. Valve repairs are expected to take about 10 days.<\/p>\n
City officials say the feeder main will remain out of service for about three and a half more weeks while the reinforcement work continues.<\/p>\n
The restrictions apply across Calgary\u2019s drinking-water system, which supplies several surrounding municipalities including Airdrie, Chestermere, Strathmore and Tsuut\u2019ina Nation.<\/p>\n
In Airdrie, Level 4 water restrictions also took effect March 9, including a complete ban on outdoor water use for residents and businesses.<\/p>\n
