Canada’s men’s hockey players weren’t the only ones working overtime during Sunday’s Olympic gold medal game. So were our water pumping stations.
We looked back at water consumption during the game, something dramatic jumped out. Our pumping stations recorded three clear spikes that lined up with the intermissions of the game.

Things like flushing toilets and washing hands impacts water usage. So, we all took bathroom breaks at the same time.
These surges are no problem for our infrastructure. It’s designed to keep services running smoothly, even during the biggest events of the year.
While the game didn’t have the outcome we’d hoped for, this is a fun reminder of how connected we are as a city.
