CALGARY — It has been two weeks since a massive water pipe ruptured in Calgary, leaving residents under restrictions.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek said Wednesday also marked the fourth day in a row Calgarians have successfully used less water than the city produces, avoiding the risk of the taps going dry.
All outdoor watering is banned and people have been urged to reduce toilet flushes, take shorter showers and do fewer loads of laundry and dishes. "There are still many risks ahead, but every day we work through this complex repair, we become more confident in our timeline." The city already had three needed pieces of pipe, said Gondek. The other two were to be sandblasted and covered with epoxy before being used to fix problem areas.
