CALGARY — Calgary officials are reassuring residents and tourists planning to visit over the next month that water restrictions won't put a damper on fun.
"The show will go on, but it will go on in a very responsible manner," Stampede CEO Joel Cowley told a news conference Monday. Calgary, a city of 1.6 million people, and surrounding municipalities, including Airdrie, Chestermere, and Tsuut'ina Nation, have been under a combination of mandatory and voluntary water restrictions since the water line ruptured June 5.
While fixing the water line, which provides 60 per cent of the city’s water, crews discovered five more weak spots in need of repair. The first ruptured area has been fixed, Gondek said, and crews are now focused on repairing the five other areas. That work is expected to take three to five weeks.
