CALGARY — Residents in Calgary and surrounding communities, fresh off having to conserve water for weeks due to a water main break, are soon going to have to do it all over again.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek announced Wednesday extended tests on more than 10 kilometres of pipe have revealed 16 more problem spots that need to be fixed.
Gondek said that means as of Aug. 26 the city's 1.6 million residents and those in surrounding communities will be urged to conserve water again indoors while a sweeping ban on outdoor watering will resume. "I know this is not the news that any of us wanted to hear. At the same time, I'm grateful that we have this important information that allows us to act in a manner that protects our water system against any potential breaks to everyone in the Calgary region."
