The City of Lethbridge is asking city residents to conserve water

The City of Lethbridge is asking residents to voluntarily conserve water as hot and dry conditions continue in southern Alberta.

The City notes that voluntary action now should help prevent the need for mandatory restrictions in the coming weeks.

Ways that residents and businesses can conserve water include:

Limiting all outdoor uses, such as watering lawns and washing cars, avoiding running taps unnecessarily, and consider reusing water where possible, minimizing shower time and bath levels, using the washer and dryer only when necessary, flushing toilets only when necessary.

The City of Lethbridge provides water to many other surrounding communities and other regional partners. All communities are being asked to help conserve water. Water conservation efforts will remain in place until further notice.
