🚨On Jan. 9, our water use was 504 ML which is 19 ML above the sustainable level of 485 ML. We are still experiencing a strain on our distribution system, limiting our ability to produce treated water, refill underground reservoirs overnight and move water to everyone.

In order for Calgary's water supply to be sustainable until the Bearspaw feeder main comes back online, total daily Megalitre usage needs to be below 485 ML.

Right now the Glenmore Reservoir volume is dropping daily because consumption outstrips the very small inflow.

There was a machine in the front of the grocery store which you could use to test the vacuum tubes from your TV to see if they still worked. It was usually right next to the cigarette vending machine.

Amazon is changing its reviews policy next month for products with variations, but sellers have questions. Is chocolate versus vanilla enough to split reviews? Amazon seems to say yes. and no. Confusion abounds.

WATER USE STILL UNSUSTAINABLE

We must conserve water now to complete this critical stage of repairs and protect:

💧Public health and safety
💧Emergency services
💧Businesses
💧Essential services

The more water we save, the faster we can finish repairs and start next steps 1/ #yyc #yyccc
