Calgary Water Restrictions: What You Need to Know
Understanding the Stages of Water Restrictions
Depending on the conditions and severity of the water shortage, there are four stages of mandatory outdoor water restrictions. These stages determine when and how residents can use water outdoors.
Stage 1: Voluntary Restrictions
During Stage 1, residents are encouraged to reduce their water use voluntarily. This includes limiting outdoor watering and taking shorter showers.
Stage 2: Mandatory Restrictions
If voluntary restrictions prove insufficient, the city may implement mandatory restrictions. These typically prohibit watering during certain hours of the day or on certain days of the week.
Stage 3: Strict Restrictions
In Stage 3, watering may only be permitted for essential purposes, such as watering trees and gardens. Car washing and other non-essential water uses may be prohibited.
Stage 4: Extreme Restrictions
In extreme cases, the city may implement Stage 4 restrictions, which could include a complete ban on all outdoor water use.
How to Stay Informed
Outdoor water restrictions will be announced through local news and through The City's social media channels. Residents are encouraged to monitor these sources for the latest updates.
