Gondek says repairs on the water main that broke June 5 are complete and work will begin to fill and flush the pipe, followed by testing of the water
Crews continue to work to repair a major water main break and five other weak spots in Calgary on June 22. Calgary ’s weeks-long water crisis, which has prompted civic officials to ask residents to cut back on showers and other activities, may end a little sooner than expected.
For the last three weeks, Calgarians have been banned from using tap water for outdoor watering and urged to reduce their indoor use through means such as taking shorter showers and flushing toilets less frequently. City crews have used tactics such as drawing dechlorinated water from swimming pools to wash bridges and bridge decks.
With repairs finished, work is to begin on flushing and filling the pipe, along with water quality testing. That will take time.
