Calgary is asking for $342 million over the next four years to reduce the amount of treated water lost through leaks. The city says it has been losing a significant share of treated water to damaged or aging water infrastructure, with recent loss rates falling within a range of roughly 20% to 24% in past years. City officials are presenting a plan that targets bringing water loss down to 15% by 2030. The proposed spending would fund efforts aimed at finding and repairing leaks and improving the performance of Calgary’s water distribution system. The plan is being reviewed by council as part of budget discussions, with the investment framed as necessary to meet the long-term reduction goal. Officials describe the initiative as a response to persistent losses that have remained at similar levels for years. Under the proposal, Calgary moves toward a lower, more controlled water-loss rate over the coming decade, supported by the near-term capital funding request.
