The City of Calgary outlined the steps it is taking to preserve water as repairs continued Sunday on a feeder main break that has threatened the city’s water supply.
Calgary Emergency Management Agency Chief Susan Henry said Sunday in a second update on repair efforts to a feeder main break, that the city needs to ensure enough water is available for “critical firefighting efforts.” She said as a result residents may expect low-flow or no water at all as reservoir levels reach the one-third mark.
Earlier in the day, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said officials needed to do a better job at providing updates in plain language and outlining exactly what the situation means for Calgarians.
“There’s still people out there that think this is some sort of a joke. Some think it’s a conspiracy theory. It is not,” she said. “If we don’t practice water conservation, we will run out of water — not because it doesn’t exist at the treatment plant. We can’t get it from there to the reservoirs until this piece of infrastructure is fixed.”
Water supply concerns were first triggered Wednesday night by a massive feeder main break in the Montgomery neighbourhood of northwest Calgary, which triggered a boil-water advisory for residents of Bowness.
