Stage 4 Water Restrictions
The City of Calgary has enacted Stage 4 Water Restrictions due to water main repairs and have asked surrounding communities to do so as well. Effective March 9, 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.
In 2017, the Town of Strathmore updated its Master Servicing Study for Sanitary System Upgrades to assess the impact of the Town’s overall growth pattern and future projections regarding development and new infrastructure. The study identified inadequate sanitary sewer capacity in certain Town areas, including the area serviced by the Main Central Trunk. In 2022, a detailed design for the new Central Trunk was completed by MPE, a division of Englobe. The first portion of the new alignment was completed in 2022 at the Strathpoint commercial site north of Highway #1.
2026, installation of the new upgraded sewer main will be constructed across Highway #1 at Strathpoint and will run south through the commercial/industrial sites to just south of the UFA.
Construction tender is scheduled to be posted in and around March 1, 2026. It is anticipated that the successful contractor will begin construction the beginning of May, with a completion date of October 31, 2026.
Town staff are currently and will continue working with impacted businesses before, during, and after construction to minimize disturbances during this project.
Residents, during construction, may see intermittently traffic pattern changes; however, services will remain uninterrupted.
