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.
