Issued by: City of Calgary:
"Description
A water main break along 16 Avenue NW has impacted the city's water supply. Supply levels remain in a critical state, affecting the city's ability to provide water to communities and ensure adequate water is available to support emergency fire suppression.
Recommended Action
All residents and businesses must conserve water. A mandatory outdoor water ban is in effect. Do not water grass, plants, or trees. Do not wash outdoor surfaces. A voluntary indoor water restriction is in place. Reduce indoor water consumption as much as possible. Limit showers and flushing toilets. Avoid doing laundry or washing dishes. Monitor local media or calgary.ca/wateroutages for updates.
If Calgarians do not reduce our water use, we are at risk of running out. The City is asking Calgarians to save water for the next few days while the work gets completed."

Five more photos from my last drive, on 1 June 2024, SW of Calgary.
A very distant scene, on the far side of a large pond, absolutely MADE my day on 1 June 2024! I almost missed a beautiful Moose with her two babies, but, at the last minute, I happened to notice a brown 'blob' when all three animals were standing close together. They didn't look like cows, and when I zoomed in on my camera, what a great surprise I had. At such a great distance, I couldn't get sharp images with my point-and-shoot, and that's OK. Just so happy to sit in my car and watch this little family.
The day was spent along favourite roads, both SW and S of Calgary. Travelled further than I had planned, which was good. Called in at Ranchers Cafe part way through the day, for a delicious cheese burger and pan fries. Always a treat, as these are the only times that I ever eat burgers.
