Water restrictions have been lifted in Calgary and surrounding communities as work continues to replace an ailing water main.
Residents had been asked for more than three weeks to take shorter showers and reduce toilet flushes due to the shutdown of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main.
The main provides 60 per cent of treated water for the area.
Residents in Calgary, along with neighbouring communities, were asked to voluntarily cut back on water use to keep enough in reserve for emergencies like fighting fires.
It's the third time the city imposed water use limits in less than two years.
Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas has promised a replacement line will be ready by the end of the year.
