Scum is a pretty safe word to use.

I think that's too light of a word to use.

The mayor is actually doing something about it-you know explaining the plan and preparing everyone for future disasters. Harper and Redford are here for the photo ops. Redford brought absolutely nothing to the press conference earlier, just flapped her piehole and said what everyone wanted to here.

Water is going to be safe for drinking for as long as the water treatment plants continue to be able to handle turbidity efficiently. At some point, the decision would have to be made to either reduce the level of treatment and issue a water boiling advisory (which has not happened yet), or shut down, if it becomes impossible to treat. The water is still safe to drink, everything works fine it seems. Elbow River has crested, so it should be only easier for the Glenmore Reservoir WTP from now on. But that is only half of Calgary water, I believe. The request to limit the use of drinking water has already been posted on the City site. It is not a bad idea to fill in a bathtub with cold water as an emergency supply just in case.

I'm betting that's a shot at people who are actually gouging, generally they don't start off an ad with "looking to take advantage of you"

People are often not even stocked enough to survive 2 days, let alone potentially a few more being cut off from supply access.
Calgary is a major transportation hub so there's likely a large supply of food and necessities within the city.

The drinking water is fine. The problem is that there is an increased demand in times like these and the treatment plants are slowed down due to the extra filtration needed due to the extreme amounts of excess silt and debris in the raw water. Best thing we can do to help the water situation is limit our personal water usage. If there is a Boil Water warning issued you can, obviously, boil your water. If your power is out you will need that bottled water or you can boil water using your BBQ if you have one.

TurnedTheCorner must be doing backflips knowing that there will likely be no Stampede this year.

City Update as of 2:24 pm:

Quote:
The very high river flows have resulted in high levels of silt and debris in the water coming into The City’s drinking water treatment plants. This silt is starting to slow down the treatment process, creating a growing load on the filtration processes. As a result, it is taking longer to treat the incoming water with presents a challenge to meet water demand.

The drinking water quality remains very high, and any help that Calgarians can provide by reducing the amount of water to be treated will help ensure that this quality can be met going forward.

The City asks that Calgarians limit water use as much as possible by following a few simple steps:
  • Limit showers to five minutes and keep baths shallow
  • Use washing machines and dishwashers only when absolutely necessary and only with full loads
  • Turn off taps when brushing teeth or shaving
  • Reduce toilet flushing
