The system is stable and the feeder main has returned to service. All water restrictions have been lifted. Normal indoor and outdoor water use can now resume. ## Thank you, Calgarians\! *** ### Your efforts made a real difference Calgarians and our regional customers in Airdrie, Chestermere, Strathmore and Tsuut'ina Nation stepped up quickly to save water, adjusted daily routines and stuck with it.

Our crews will have to briefly stop water flow to remove the PipeDiver, and then conduct water quality testing before restarting the pumps. **Because of the short duration of this work, we do not expect water restrictions to be needed. However, this could change if unexpected issues arise.** ## Some habits are hard to break – and you don’t have to *** Calgary is a growing city on two small rivers. Many of the simple water-saving habits you’ve built over the last month, like full loads of laundry or finding other small ways to save water, are worth keeping up. With high demand and limited supply, everyday water conservation is critical and helps support our long-term water supply. [More water saving tips](https://www.calgary.ca/water/programs/saving-water-in-your-home.html)  *** ## Stay prepared for water restrictions ***  Even though the reinforcement work is complete, there is still a risk of failure until the new parallel pipe is in place. There will also be another planned feeder main shutdown this fall as we bring the new replacement pipe online. During the planned shutdown this fall, or if another break happens at any time, we will once again need everyone’s help to save water. Timelines for the planned shutdown have not yet been confirmed. As planning continues and schedules are finalized, we will share information with Calgarians as early as possible so people have time to prepare. ## Understanding Stage 4 Water Restrictions *** Know how [Stage 4]() [Outdoor Water Restrictions](https://www.calgary.ca/water/drought/outdoor-water-restrictions.html) and voluntary indoor conservation could affect things like maintaining your yard at home or operating your business.
