Water restriction levels

The Waterworks Bylaw (PDF) includes water restrictions that would only come into effect during a water shortage. Water shortages are classified into levels, which would trigger different types of restrictions. Residents and businesses would be notified through a variety of communication channels, such as social media and web, if a water restriction was declared.

Regular watering schedule	LEVEL ONE and two Restrictions	LEVEL THREE and four restrictions
Year-round watering schedule	Could be declared for: Drought Emergencies (e.g. floods) Distribution issues or infrastructure failure	Could be declared when: Airdrie is facing serious challenges in providing sufficient water supply Affects a wider area than Airdrie The Province may be involved

Reducing water use

When water restrictions are in place, they typically focus on reducing non-essential outdoor water use, such as lawn watering, car washing or filling decorative features. These measures are usually temporary and lifted once conditions improve.

Even when restrictions are not in place, residents are encouraged to use water wisely by following the regular watering schedule and adopting conservation practices. Small actions like watering during cooler parts of the day or fixing leaks can make a meaningful difference.

Public safety notifications

Any changes to water use guidelines will be communicated through official channels, including the website, social media and local alerts. Residents and business owners can sign up to receive public safety alerts related to water restrictions and choose how they are notified — by email, text message or push notification.
