Calgary is now under Stage 1 outdoor water restrictions, effective immediately.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
"The most significant change is how long you can use sprinklers," she said.
"Now, you can use a sprinkler or a sprinkler system for up to two hours per week.
"Odd-numbered homes have the choice of Thursdays or Sundays and even-numbered homes have the choice between Wednesday and Saturday, and just like in Stage 2, you can use a hose with a trigger nozzle at any time to water your trees, your gardens, your shrubs and any new grass."
Michael Thompson, the city's general manager of infrastructure services, acknowledged it's news Calgarians have been waiting for.
"We know many of you are anxious about your lawns, particularly given the continued heat," he said.
