Everything is normal by me, water seems fine, not even raining anymore. We have a canal behind the house that often rises with heavy rain and snow melt but it hasn't risen at all that I can tell.

Oh and I think the issue with Calgary water right now is treatment of freshwater not raw so people should refrain from using water especially for our luxury tanks

Shame on any retailer selling bottled water at a jacked up price since there was no boil water advisory(I am updated hourly)and there wont be.Don't believe tweets and facebook rumors peeps!this no better than looting IMO.At least in Calgary,downstream may be a differant issue.

Yup, just heard that home depot is selling 24 bottles of water for $45. Needless to say home depot can go f*ck themselves when it comes to getting my business.

Isn't profiteering illegal in Canada? I am completely shocked by the events and how they unrolled. However being in Emergency Services myself I am extremely proud of not only The Emergency Services (paramedics, military, police and the FF's) I am just as proud of all the volunteers and people sand bagging and providing assistance in any way they can.

I know the worst is over, and I just got back last night but If anyone needs a hand with anything in Edmonton/Surrounding area please give me a message.

This is because Home Depot buys the bottles as individual bottles and pays $X.XX per bottle they do not get a flat rate just like gas stations and corner stores.

So when you buy the "Flat" its actually 2$ a bottle x 24 bottles which works out to $48 plus deposit/tax. They are not trying to screw anyone over its just how they buy the water to start with.

Sorry to say that people are getting hit with this but thats how it is. You cant expect a deal on something the store itself is not getting a deal on, just because its packed in a plastic wrap doesn't mean its considered a flat of water.
