"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."

It was unusual for me to see a Mountain Bluebird sitting, rather than standing, on a fence post. Poor guy, perhaps his babies have hatched and he needs a quick rest in between catching small insects for them.
Yesterday, 6 June 2024, was spent along favourite roads again, both SW and S of Calgary. Travelled further than I had planned, which was good. Just the usual birds I have been seeing recently, including the Mountain Bluebird, Tree Swallow, and American Robin. At one location, I did hear a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and an Alder Flycatcher, according to Merlin Sound ID. This was the first time I had used this program to identify two bird songs, other than using it through my computer room window a few times, No Wilson's Snipe this trip, partly because I left home much later than I had planned.
Called in again at Ranchers Corner 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.
