There's more good news from the City of Calgary after it released an updated schedule for repairs as residents and businesses used a lot less water on Thursday, data indicates.
The city's potable water demand dashboard shows 473 million litres of water was used, down from the previous day's 485 million litres.
On Thursday, the city announced that construction work was ahead of schedule and 20 out of the 21 pipe repairs are now complete.
That means that roads could be opened and restrictions lifted a lot sooner than anticipated.
"We want to extend a big thank you to all Calgarians, local businesses and nearby communities for your ongoing efforts to save water," the city said in a news release.
"Your actions are making a real difference, and it is a huge relief to our plant operators and water team."
Starting Monday, crews will continue work by filling the feeder main, which will take about three days.
