Calgary Water Main Break
The Calgary water main break occurred on June 7, 2023. This incident caused significant disruptions in water service and required extensive repair work to restore normal operations.
Calgary Water Hardness
Calgary water is considered hard because it contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. The hardness of Calgary's water is attributed to its source: the Bow and Elbow Rivers, which flow through areas rich in limestone and other mineral deposits. As the water passes through these geological formations, it picks up these minerals, resulting in hard water.
Calgary's Daily Water Usage
On average, Calgary uses approximately 400 million liters of water per day. However, this number can fluctuate based on the season and various usage patterns. During peak periods, such as in the summer, water consumption can increase significantly.
Safety of Calgary Water
Yes, it is safe to drink Calgary water. The City of Calgary ensures that the water supply meets or exceeds all provincial and federal health and safety standards. The water is treated and regularly tested to ensure its quality and safety for consumption.
