Summary

Calgary’s water crisis is leaking billions — literally — with 23% of treated water lost last year, a troubling trend since 2019 fueled by aging pipes and chronic leaks across its 5,500-kilometer underground network. Facing mounting pressure, the city’s rolling out a $342 million overhaul to replace aging infrastructure, deploy smart meters, and slash water loss to 15% by 2030 — all part of a broader push to cut overall consumption by 20% by 2040.
