Paving the water main repair sites began on Wednesday.
The underground repair work on the Bearspaw south feeder main was completed on Tuesday, and city officials say step one of the restoration process will begin on Wednesday, meaning there are still several days to go until Calgary's water supply is fully restored.
Its rupture led to outdoor water restrictions, with the city also urging residents and businesses to cut back on their own use to maintain enough water for emergencies, such as fighting fires and use in hospitals. City of Calgary director of capital priorities and investment, Francois Bouchart, says that because the system has "undergone a major shock," crews need to move carefully.
On Tuesday afternoon, Bouchart detailed what the rest of the water-restoration process will look like. However, if the tests show the water isn't safe to consume, the pipe will need to be flushed once again, which he says could add another 24 hours to the process.
