Critical water supply alert

An extensive water main break occurred on the evening of Wednesday, June 5 to a critical transmission line, affecting the ability to move water across the city. 

Alberta Health Services has issued a Boil Water Advisory for the community of Bowness. 

All residents and businesses in Bowness are advised to bring all tap water to a rolling boil for one full minute prior to any consumption, including:   

  • Drinking 
  • Brushing teeth 
  • Cleaning raw foods 
  • Preparing infant formula or juices 
  • Making ice, etc. 

Water in all other communities remains safe to drink, however, the incident is impacting our ability to deliver drinking water across the city.

To ensure we share the water currently available, we are asking all Calgarians to immediately observe Stage 4 water restrictions. All outdoor water use is temporarily banned. Calgarians are also asked to restrict their indoor water use by:

  • Delay using dishwashers and washing machines
  • Limiting shower times and keeping baths shallow
  • Turning off humidifiers and ice machines
  • Turn off water taps when not in use

Please stay tuned to calgary.ca and official City of Calgary social media channels for the latest updates.
