Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek delivered another update on Sunday morning, regarding water restrictions brought forth by a damaged feeder main 11 days ago.

Breaking a streak of mostly bad news, Gondek revealed that the city reached an all time low in its consumption of water on Saturday night, using just 438 million litres, as city officials work to fix five different breaks in the pipeline. She said the city currently has "enough water stored to meet demand and also protect ourselves in case of any emergencies."

Gondek also offered viewers some Father’s Day tips, suggesting dads opt to drink beer instead of water, or avoid washing the car, or brush their teeth in the shower, if they really need to.

The latest update comes after Gondek enacted a local state of emergency on Saturday. Though she made it clear that the state of emergency was "not linked to the level of water in the reservoirs," she said the difficult decision would allow City officials easier access to the feeder main sites that require repair.

This comes after an extended repair timeline revealed Friday. Rather than an estimated one-week timeline for a complete repair, it will take another 3-to-5 weeks due to further damage at five other locations of the pipeline

Additionally on Saturday, Calgary’s capital priorities and investments director Francois Bouchart said that “sufficient pipe material” has been secured to complete the remaining repairs for the critical water main break that has triggered a water supply crisis in the city.
