In a Tuesday morning update on Calgary’s water main break, Mayor Jyoti Gondek said that the city was “well-below the threshold for usage” and “well-within the range of water required for storage on a regular basis.” She also provided an update on the progress of repairs and the creation of a third-party incident review of the broken pipe.
“Yesterday, we consumed 450,000,000 litres of water, indicating that people and businesses in Calgary and the surrounding communities of Tsuutʼina Nation, Airdrie, Strathmore and Chestermere continue to be excellent water stewards,” Gondek said.
Regarding the independent review, Calgary Chief Administrative Officer David Duckworth also said the framework has “already been established” and that the scope of this review will “include, but not be limited to,” understanding the factors that contributed to the original pipe failure.
Duckworth also spoke on the hotspots along the broken water main, describing them as “structural deficiencies” in need of repair rather than leaks. “There are no indications of leaks at this point, but that may change as we uncover and assess the pipe at each of these five hotspot locations,” Duckworth said.
