The Glenmore treatment plant can pump out 500 Mega Liters (ML) of water a day. During the pipe repair, the city was averaging less than that in usage.
Now Bearspaw is back up and running, albeit at 50-75% capacity (can't get a firm number). Assuming 50%, that's another 250 ML of water we have to use.
Based on the numbers they were showing before, Calgary uses about 600 ML normally. But we have 750 ML being treated/piped across the city.
What are we restricting for?

I think with no restrictions in summer we get to the 700-800 range but I agree with you that they should be sharing more detailed hydraulics to explain why there are still restrictions.
