In a Sunday morning update, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek provided the latest details regarding the city’s ongoing water emergency following a water main that broke over two weeks ago.

Gondek said that two city sites have been set up to provide non-potable or untreated water to residents who have been unable to collect rainwater at home, which will be located at Baker Park and the Ogden boat launch.

“We want to remind you only to take what you need — It's a temporary fix, and it's not intended for large-scale water collection,” Gondek said. “And a reminder that this is river water. It's non-potable, it has not been treated, so it's not safe for consumption.”

Regarding the status of the feeder main repair, Gondek said that progress was still on track for fixes to be completed by July 5th, which would be in time for the Calgary Stampede that will run from July 5-14. She added that Saturday’s water consumption was at 451,000,000 litres, which was the first time in three days that usage has been kept that low.
