Calgary feeder main repairs complete, water service could be restored sooner than expected

Repair work on Calgary’s water main is complete, but there are still a few more steps crews need to complete before water restrictions are lifted in the city.

On Monday, residents used 476 million litres of water, just under the threshold of 480 million litres, Gondek said."Now is not the time to give up on our water-saving practices. Now is not the time to fire up the sprinklers or get your car washed," Gondek said.Gondek cautioned that even once the work itself is done, it could be days before the pipe is flushed and Alberta Health Services gives the all clear for water to start flowing again.
