Mayor Jyoti Gondek has faced a barrage of criticism as she guided Calgary through a water main break that forced city residents and businesses to limit their water use for over a month.
Crews continue to work to repair a major water main break and five other weak spots in Calgary, Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Crews scrambled to repair the line and, in the process, found five more weak spots to fix, and the city declared a state of local emergency.Just ahead of July’s Calgary Stampede, the city lifted its state of emergency and gave residents the green light to ease back intoA ban on outdoor watering remained in place Saturday, with the system running at reduced capacity to keep enough water in reserve to fight fires and for the replacement line to undergo tests.
As council plans to appoint an independent panel to investigate how and why the water main ruptured, Gondek said the post-mortem probably won’t assuage her most vocal detractors. “Everything changed during the pandemic, and the conspiracies and the negativity and the polarization and the vitriol escalated, and it's at a very dangerous level right now.”
