On Sunday, Calgary residents and businesses used 473 million litres of water, down from 475 million.
In a statement, city officials said Sunday that the drop from Friday's 492 million litres of usage "was a step in the right direction" but still "above our target."
During a media availability, the City of Calgary's director of capital priorities and investment Francois Bouchart said officials have received a growing number of complaints about residents and business owners misusing water.
He also said, despite the holiday, crews are still hard at work to restore services as soon as possible.
"We are making progress on our repairs this weekend," he said. "We're working 24 hours a day."
Bouchart said the construction on all the sites along the feeder main is on schedule.
