Calgary expected to provide updated timeline on water restrictions

Calgarians facing water restrictions for over two weeks may receive an updated timeline on ending these cutbacks today. City officials are set to provide details on the voluntary water rationing, which was implemented after a water main rupture. Residents have been asked to reduce water usage by taking shorter showers and limiting toilet flushes. The ruptured water main, which is the second fracture in two years, has led to criticism of city leadership for not taking preventive measures. The city reports that the water main has been reconnected and is receiving water from a treatment plant.
