Calgary officials say lessons learned from previous pipe fixes will mean upcoming water restrictions will not be as severe
Crews continue to work to repair a major water main break and five other weak spots in Calgary on June 22, 2024.City officials are seeking to reassure Calgarians that the water restrictions needed for more pipe repairs starting next week won’t be as bad as the first time around.
“We know we are asking a lot of you, and we wouldn’t be asking if we didn’t need these efforts to be in place so we can protect Calgary’s water supply over the winter.” A massive water pipe rupture in early June resulted in weeks of severe water restrictions, including a ban on watering lawns, a request for shorter showers and fewer laundry loads, as well as an outdoor fire ban.
Sweeping water restrictions are to return Monday and will last for about a month so the pipe can be dug up and reinforced with concrete in those areas.
