So Bearspaw has plenty of water, and is still delivering it to a reduced number of communities.
Obviously the city can't fragment the group effort and the "we're in it together" sort of thing. But for communities that Bearspaw is still servicing, is there any actual benefit to the cause to conserve?
The optics and simple messaging are certainly more important in a time like this, so the city isn't going to start drawing lines.

I think they can still get some water into the rest of the system, it's just a circuitous route:
The two thin green lines heading SE from 53 St NW are probably the bottleneck, but you'd want them running full blast 24/7. NW usage may or may not impact the ability to do that.
