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.

Capital Projects Prioritization Matrix - Guide to Decision Making

A Capital Project Priority Matrix is a tool used to guide decision-making and ensure project success. This Matrix helps determine project scope, time, budget and other details. 

The Town of Strathmore's Capital Projects Prioritization Matrix assists with asset management. It is used to determine which capital projects could proceed and when. There are different categories and factors with weightings to create a priority ranking system for projects.
