Hello, Ward 6,
Our region is in a drought, and that’s why now, more than ever, every drop counts. With another dry summer expected this year, we all need to do our part to conserve water and use it wisely. This can include fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and only doing full loads of laundry. As Calgarians look ahead to spring and the likelihood of outdoor water restrictions, we encourage Calgarians to consider ways they can adapt their yards and gardens to use less water and to seek out ways they can conserve water inside the home.
A rain barrel is a great way to capture and reuse any rainwater Mother Nature provides this season. You can use what you collect to water your trees, lawn, and garden – even when outdoor water restrictions are in place.

Please Richard —get the train going we trust you to represent us at city hall.
We have serious issues with roads, electricity, water — the city has been aware of infrastructure issues in the water and sewer in this area for well over 20 years ago with the were planning this area.
We need the city to get priorities straight and focus on what important in terms of critical services —– this is not a blame game to higher governments its a money and management problem with our city counsellors and current and last mayors—— things are not what they used to be when we had Mayor Dave Bronconnier he understood the importance of infrastructure —- there were great leaders in these depts ——-road, water and sewer, and electricity and have gone down hill since. Please get us back on track —- it may include less staff more maintenance projects.
Enough of these crazy agenda items and get this city running seamlessly. Thank you.
