Schools in Chestermere, Alberta, are operating under mandatory Level 4 water restrictions starting March 9, 2026, following a regional infrastructure project led by the City of Calgary. Rocky View Schools confirmed the change, which also affects the City of Airdrie, as crews work to reinforce the regional water network.
The high-level restrictions mean that non-essential water use is limited across all school buildings. This impacts daily routines including cafeteria services, facility maintenance, and custodial cleaning requirements.
The City of Calgary, which provides water services for the area, started these measures to ensure the system remains stable during the reinforcement work. Families are being told to prepare for potential changes to regular school services as the school division manages its water use to align with the new rules.
The City of Chestermere and the City of Airdrie are both affected by the work on the regional water lines. The school division will continue to follow the municipal requirements until the infrastructure project is complete.
