Despite conservation efforts from Calgarians on Friday, water levels remain critical across the city, with officials warning water could run out in just days if usage continues at this level.
"We're not going to run out tomorrow, but I can tell you we will run out in the days to come," said Nancy Mackay, the city's director of water services.
According to officials, the demand for water is heavily outweighing the city's ability to supply it. They estimate water use on Friday will be 610 million litres, but the city can currently only produce 520 million litres.
"Days, a week, somewhere in that order," said Mackay. "We're continually drawing down the amount of water we made up last night."
City officials continue to ask Calgarians to use 25 per cent less water than they did Thursday.
