CALGARY — It has been two weeks since a massive water pipe ruptured in Calgary, leaving residents under restrictions.

Mayor Jyoti Gondek said Wednesday also marked the fourth day in a row Calgarians have successfully used less water than the city produces, avoiding the risk of the taps going dry.

She said Calgarians have saved the equivalent of 600 Olympic swimming pools full of water since the pipe broke on June 5.Two new pieces of pipe trucked in from San Diego have arrived and engineers were to begin work to replace defective ones. "These hot spots are not actually leaks, but they are sections of the feeder main that needed immediate repair and this is what we found by the inspection that was done by the robots," Gondek said.
