The City of Calgary has been doing daily updates on its water crisis that began June 5, when a leak in one of the city’s main feeder lines was discovered.

Since then, outdoor water use has been banned, outdoor fires are prohibited due to fire risk, swimming pools are shuttered, and people are being asked to conserve water any way they can.
