Commercial river water pick up
To support construction and landscaping businesses during the current water restrictions, The City of Calgary is providing non-potable river water for use by construction and landscaping contractors. Businesses can bring their water trucks for filling at three locations free of charge.
Access is open to contractors who are working on projects which require dust control, compacting of dirt or gravel surfaces, landscaping projects, maintenance or watering.
Water from these locations is non-potable, not safe for drinking, and only to be used for construction and landscaping activities.
