Stage 4 Water Restrictions
The City of Calgary has enacted Stage 4 Water Restrictions due to a water main break and have asked surrounding communities to do so as well. Effective December 31, the Town of Strathmore has implemented Stage 4 Water Restrictions. These restrictions mean:
• No outdoor water use (e.g., flooding outdoor ice surfaces)
• Indoor facilities such as pools, rinks, and recreation facilities will remain open
Please consider taking the following steps to reduce water consumption:
• Limit showers to under 3 minutes
• Flush toilets only when necessary
• Run dishwashers and laundry only when full
As we navigate Stage 4 Water Restrictions, our water system operator, EPCOR, is proactively topping our reservoirs to ensure we have adequate water reserves to support essential services and maintain system stability. While EPCOR manages operations behind the scenes, our community’s continued efforts to conserve water remain critical. Reduced demand helps keep reservoir levels strong and supports system reliability until Calgary’s system is fully restored.
By recycling, you help with reduce what goes to the landfill!
The Town of Strathmore also offers a free Composting program from May 1 to October 31. The Recycling Facility provides up to 10 gallons of finished compost per resident.
