Water Demand Measures

During periods of dry weather, the City experiences higher than normal water use, which starts to reduce water levels in the City’s three reservoirs that store water for community use and fire protection.

If there is sufficient rain, the reservoirs return to normal levels on their own. However, if there is little or no rain, reservoir levels continue to drop and water conservation efforts are put in place.

The City of St. Albert is part of a group of municipalities and municipal water commissions that receive their water from EPCOR, that work together to implement specific actions that member municipalities will need to take in situations where water reservoirs are at low, very low or extremely low levels.

As the reservoir levels drop, Water Demand Measures are implemented by municipalities across the region. These measures are put in place to limit water use and ensure sufficient water is available for consumption and for firefighting efforts.
