Mayor Jyoti Gondek gave a brief update early Sunday morning, delivering a relatively good-news report.
She said the city consumed 438 million litres of water Saturday, below the threshold level of 480 million litres a day that it needs for consumption to match supply.
Gondek said that was the lowest amount of water Calgary has consumed since water restrictions were announced in early June.
“That is better than we hoped to achieve,” she said.
She said the city has 634 million litres on hand which should be sufficient to meet demand and provide a surplus in the event of an emergency such as a fire.
“We’re in pretty good shape,” she said.
