Calgary officials deliver update on water main break

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek says the July 5 target for completing water repairs is "still very much in play," as crews continue to work on replacing damaged sections of pipe on the city's feeder main.Officials will provide an update on the repairs to the city's feeder water main pipe Sunday at 2 p.m.

Most materials required for the repairs are either on site or in transit, including two key pieces of pipe that arrived from San Diego earlier this week, Gondek said. He said crews are currently focused on welding into place the adapters that will attach the new pieces of steel pipe to the old infrastructure.

"What I can tell you is that the framework has been completed, and we're now moving into the phases of identifying who would be on the panel and then standing up that panel and having them be publicly announced," she said.Repairs on multiple sections of the water feeder main that transports the majority of the city's water have been underway for more than two weeks, since an initial catastrophic break occurred on June 5.

As of Saturday afternoon, officials said bylaw officers have received 2,386 water misuse calls and issued 621 verbal warnings and 14 violation tickets.
