Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is set to deliver another update on Sunday afternoon, regarding water restrictions stemming the breakdown of a major water line 11 days ago.

In an earlier press conference, Gondek revealed that the city reached an all time low in its consumption of water on Saturday night, using just 438 million litres. Gondek also offered some Father’s Day tips, suggesting dads opt to drink beer instead of water, or avoid washing the car, and brush their teeth in the shower, if they really need to.

As Calgary officials declared a local state of emergency on Saturday over the water crisis, which is expected to last another three to five weeks, the president of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce has raised concerns about how the city’s water crisis may impact the Calgary Stampede.

“We are deeply concerned that the City of Calgary has entered a State of Emergency caused by the deterioration of Calgary’s main water feeder pipe, particularly given the issues will take an additional three to five weeks to resolve,” said Deborah Yedlin, president and CEO of the organization.
