Most restrictions in Calgary had been lifted when Mayor Jyoti Gondek announced an analysis had found more trouble spots along 10 kilometres of pipe in northwest Calgary.
Crews continue to work to repair a major water main break and five other weak spots in Calgary, Saturday, June 22, 2024. The condition of infrastructure across the country is dire and action needs to be taken now to prevent the kind of massive water main break that continues to plague Alberta's biggest city, says the president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
The line is to be shut down starting Aug. 26 until late September so it can be dug up and reinforced with concrete in those areas. Water restrictions are making a comeback, including a ban on watering lawns and a request for shorter showers and fewer laundry loads. “Municipalities have a bigger burden and very little or no increases in our revenue without property tax,” he said.
“The best we can do now is learn from this catastrophe, the hope that maybe we are the canary in the coal mine and we can avoid this happening to other places.”Mpox is on the rise. What Canadians need to know as the virus spreads Stadnyk said the pipe in Calgary was nearly 50 years old and that’s the point when some kind of catastrophic failure can happen.
