Calgary water rules not expected to hamper Grey Cup, pubs promise plenty of beer
City officials and brewery operators say conservation measures should not affect festival events or the beer supply as Calgary hosts up to 350,000 Grey Cup fans.
- Calgary hosts the Canadian Football League Grey Cup on Sunday, expecting up to 350,000 fans while remaining below its daily water threshold of 500 million litres.
- City-Wide water restrictions stem from ongoing repairs to the Bearspaw South Feeder Main, a problematic infrastructure that has ruptured twice in the last two years. This marks the fifth time Calgary has implemented such measures.
- Melissa Pawlak, Bottlescrew Bill's head brewer, said brewing happens weeks ahead of time, so restrictions will not impact Grey Cup beer quality. The brewery cut water usage in half by halting an inefficient system.
- At the downtown Hyatt Regency Calgary, general manager John O'Connell said staff inform arriving visitors about water rules. "But once we inform them, it seems like everyone's happy to do their part," O'Connell said.
- Calgary will maintain water restrictions until around the end of the month as work continues on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main replacement. City officials expect no challenges staying within usage limits over Grey Cup weekend.
