Water Services

	Glenmore Reservoir Dam Operations during spring runoff The Glenmore Reservoir is located on the Elbow River. It was constructed to provide Calgarians a safe and sufficient supply of drinking water. It offers enough storage to sustain our drinking water and is operated by the City of Calgary.
	We manage the quality and delivery of Calgary's water supply - from the river, to our taps and back to the river We work 24/7/365 to protect public health by delivering clean, reliable drinking water and by treating Calgary's wastewater, before it returns to the river. We also manage the city's stormwater drainage, we respond to floods and we contribute to the conservation of our precious water resource. We are all Counting on our Water. Watch the video to find out how Calgary's water system delivers a lot for a little.
	Switch From A Flat Rate To A Water Meter On a flat water rate? It's time to make the switch! The City has launched a water meter program to convert remaining flat rate residential accounts to meters. More than four in five Calgary residences already have water meters. Under the Water Utility Bylaw, all homes in Calgary will have water meters by the end of 2014.
	Water-wise workshops, programs and events We will be at various locations throughout the city to help educate Calgarians about water conservation and provide water wise tips and tools.
	Parkdale Water Walk Did you know that ferries were once a key form of transportation up and down the Bow River? According to early settler and prominent pioneer Alfred S. McKay, "nothing was barred excepting cattle and range horses...we did draw the line at those." Join us to learn more about the many unique connections that the Parkdale community has to the river on a free one-hour guided walk on Saturday, May 4. The walk will begin at the Parkdale Community Centre (3512 – 5th Ave NW) at 11 a.m. and will take place rain or shine. No RSVPs are necessary.
