City Downgrades Water Demand Management Measure ›

UPDATED RELEASE - JULY 23, 2024, 4:55 PM

The City of St. Albert's Water Demand Management Measure has been downgraded from "B" to "A" effective immediately.

This means the voluntary water restriction for residents and businesses has been lifted, but restrictions on the use of potable water continue to impact a reduced list of municipal operations and activities.

Residents can continue to help conserve water by doing the following:

• Use water from rain barrels until they are empty, before using municipal water for outdoor watering.
• Reduce water use, particularly during peak demand periods: 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m.  
• Turn the water off while brushing your teeth. 
• Make sure that washing machines and dishwashers are full before using.
• Suspend filling jacuzzis or hot tubs. 
• Ensure you have a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for drinking, so you won't have to let the water run to get cold water.
• Clean your sidewalks and driveways with a broom or brush, rather than a hose. 
• Suspend washing vehicles and watering your lawn. 

Businesses, particularly those using large volumes of water, are asked to limit water use.

The City appreciates the efforts by residents and businesses to conserve water and continues to closely monitor the situation if water demand conditions change.
