Calgary's Water Dashboard Empowers Conservation
Discover Calgary's Water Demand Dashboard, a key resource for tracking local water usage and promoting conservation.
CALGARY — In an era where water management is increasingly critical, the City of Calgary's public "Water Demand Dashboard" stands as a key resource for tracking local water usage.
Available online, the dashboard provides comprehensive data on water usage across various sectors including residential, industrial, and commercial. It also includes details on water used for pipe flushing and firefighting. This tool, part of the city's Climate & Environment Dashboard, underscores Calgary’s commitment to transparent water management efforts.
Interactive Tools and Data Accessibility
In addition to the main dashboard, water demand data for the years 2025 and 2026 is accessible through an interactive Power BI tool. This allows users to delve deeper into specific periods, facilitating a more detailed analysis of water usage trends.
The main page for Calgary's water services prominently features a link to this dashboard, ensuring that residents can easily access daily treated water demand information. This is part of a broader effort to engage the public in water conservation efforts.
Stable Drought Conditions
Despite stable drought conditions reported as of September 25, 2025, with Bow River flows below normal and Elbow River flows remaining normal, the city continues to focus on proactive water management strategies. The next update is expected in March 2026.
The city's efforts include seeking public feedback on the Drought Resilience Plan, which encompasses an outdoor watering schedule. This initiative, open from November 17 to December 7, 2025, invites community involvement in shaping sustainable water practices.
Clarifying Misunderstandings
Recent rumours circulating on Reddit about a new water dashboard have been debunked. Officials confirm that these references align with the existing and well-established public dashboards. No new or unverified tools have been introduced, ensuring that the public continues to receive accurate and reliable information.
As Calgary navigates its water challenges, the Water Demand Dashboard remains a cornerstone of its climate resilience strategy, emphasizing transparency and community engagement in sustainable resource management.
