Calgary officials are currently working on repairing several feeder mains in the city, but details on the specific sites and timelines are still pending.
According to the City of Calgary’s Water Services, feeder mains are large water pipes that distribute water from the water treatment plants to smaller pipes that supply water to homes and businesses. These mains are crucial in providing clean and safe drinking water to the city’s residents.
The need for repairs on these feeder mains was identified during routine inspections and maintenance work. The exact locations and extent of the repairs are still being determined, but the city assures that they will be completed as soon as possible.
In the meantime, residents are advised to continue using water as normal, as there is no immediate risk to the water supply. However, the city is asking residents to be mindful of their water usage and to avoid any unnecessary water consumption.
The repairs are expected to cause some disruptions, such as temporary water shut-offs and traffic disruptions in the affected areas. The city will provide updates and notifications to residents as the repairs progress.
The cost of these repairs is also still being determined, but the city assures that it will be covered by the Water Services budget and will not result in any additional costs for residents.
The City of Calgary is committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of the water supply for its residents. The repairs on the feeder mains are a necessary step in maintaining this commitment and the city appreciates the patience and understanding of its residents during this process.
Further details on the specific repair sites and timelines will be provided as they become available. In the meantime, residents can stay informed by checking the City of Calgary’s website and social media channels for updates.
