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'm pretty confident it will make no difference at all what those of us at this end of town do. We're islanded with Bearspaw - the system will get the small amount of Bearspaw water to the rest of the city no matter what we do up here. Once the connector to the north central is done that will no longer be true.
