Things I have seen online show that Bearspaw has capacity of 550 and Glenmore had initial capacity of 400 but may be up to 550. I believe it was part of a 7 year upgrade program started in 2011

Bearspaw has six clarifiers installed with a total capacity of 586,000m³/d. Glenmore was equipped in two phases, the first installing four units with a capacity of 400,000m³/d, followed by two more to bring this up to an eventual 550,000m³/d. These systems, which are part of the new pre-treatment facilities, will effectively remove turbidity and organics prior to the filtration process.

Construction update
Construction continues progressing well and we remain on schedule.
On sites 1-4, which are located on 33rd Avenue N.W. and at Shouldice Park, we are now entering the final stages of repair activities on these four sites.
We have now poured concrete at nine of the 12 repair segments and concrete pouring is anticipated today at the remaining three repair segments, completing this stage of the repair.
Backfill activities are anticipated to begin today along 33rd Avenue.
Excavation activities continue at Site 5, which is the final site on 33 Avenue located at 33 Avenue N.W. at 86th Street. It is anticipated that two of the three excavations at this site will be completed today.
Excavation work at sites 6 to 8 on 16th Avenue N.W. has commenced at five of the six segments.
We have completed two of these excavations and three are currently underway.
Rebar materials are anticipated to arrive and be installed at two sites today, and concrete pouring at these two sites is anticipated for early next week.

At any rate, a comment on the demand.
If the plant can produce 500 million litres, and we are consuming that, looks like we should be ok.
If the above post is correct that there is about a 2 day supply, or a billion litres stored, then consuming 50 million litres above capacity may technically be sustainable for up to about 3 weeks, which puts the city past the projected completion date. And they claim to be on schedule
Also I saw that they are going to be turning off showers at rinks
