The city is asking residents to ease into normal water use over the next few days to help even out any spikes in demand, which it said will be easier on the system.

The Bearspaw south feeder main has been reconnected to Calgary's water distribution system, city reservoirs have been filled and all water use restrictions have been lifted, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said at a news conference Sunday morning.

Lawn sprinklers could make a comeback in Calgary on Sunday if all goes well with the restart of a troubled water pipe.
