The city isn't saying this because people are morons and would assume that anyone in the NW was fine to go nuts, which isn't true. And then other people in the south would be like, "well, the NW doesn't have to cut back so I don't have to either." Basically the only reason for restrictions in that area is that people are idiots.

I'm just curious how you came to this conclusion? Was it just looking at pipe maps, or do you have info from an expert on Calgary's system that agreed?
