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.
There is still a lot of uncertainty over Calgary’s plan to repair a major water feeder main. As Adam MacVicar reports, with water restrictions and construction set to begin, some businesses still want more information. – Aug 12, 2024City 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.”But Bouchart said disruption should be minimal since the feeder main won’t have to be shut down. More care will be taken to prevent driveways and business entrances from being blocked, he said.
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.
