Since The City issued a Drought Advisory in late July, the natural flows on the Bow and Elbow rivers remain low and conditions continue to be dry. In response, The City of Calgary will be issuing Stage 1 mandatory outdoor water restrictions under the Water Utility Bylaw (40M2006). This measure will help proactively manage Calgary’s water supply needed in the Glenmore Reservoir to sustain our city over the winter and into the spring given that Environment Canada is predicting a warm and dry winter. It also supports our neighbours downstream who depend on the river, and it will protect river health. The outdoor water restrictions apply to all residences, businesses and City operations.
