City officials say an additional pump at the Bearspaw water treatment plant will be activated by mid-day Monday to increase water speed and pressure on the feeder main.
If all goes well with water main repairs this week, Calgarians could soon be able to use their outdoor sprinklers in a very limited capacity, the city said Monday.
Water restrictions have been in place in different stages since a massive break in the main feeder line on June 5. For now, Calgary remains under Stage 3 of outdoor water restrictions, meaning people are only allowed to water plants with a watering can or bucket using water from a tap. Acoustic monitoring of the pipe has been ongoing as the flow rate is increased and officials found three more areas where the steel wire had snapped. That does not mean immediate repair work is necessary, officials said.
