Repair work on the five additional “hot spots” of the Bearspaw south feeder main is now complete, but the full restoration of Calgary’s water supply is still days away.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek shared the news during her Tuesday afternoon update on the developments of the water feeder main, saying the underground repair work on the pipe has now been completed and the city is hopefully on track to have water service restored before the Calgary Stampede.
“That date is still a good guideline,” said Gondek when asked about the city’s previously stated July 5 completion timeline.
Cynically, there’s a lot of incentive at every level to cut corners and kick things down the road to when it’s different people’s problem, But otoh things can go fast when sufficiently motivated. Hope it all works out.
