Calgary has been making significant strides in its recovery from the recent Bearspaw South Feeder Main break, with the city moving residents from Stage 4 water restrictions.

The public is eagerly awaiting updates from Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Sue Henry from the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, and the director of capital priorities.

The city is now easing outdoor water restrictions, a welcome change for residents who have been dealing with limitations on their water usage due to the emergency situation. Furthermore, the ban on outdoor fires has been lifted, adding to the sense of normalcy returning to the city.

Calgary residents can now look forward to a more relaxed approach to outdoor water usage, as the city transitions from Stage 4 to Stage 3 water restrictions. While measures are still in place, such as using handheld containers or buckets for watering plants, the overall atmosphere is one of gradual improvement. The easing of restrictions comes just in time for the summer heat, with outdoor pools reopening to provide much-needed relief to Calgarians.

In conclusion, the recent developments in Calgary's water restrictions paint a picture of resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. The city's response to the water main break highlights the importance of preparedness and swift action in ensuring public safety and well-being. As Calgary continues its recovery, the community spirit and cooperation seen throughout this period serve as a testament to the city's strength and unity.
