The filling of Calgary’s repaired feeder main is almost finished, with testing and stabilization work to follow. According to city officials, the project is on track and expected to be completed within the designated timeline.
The feeder main, which supplies water to several communities in the city, was damaged in a major water main break last month. The break caused significant disruptions to water supply and resulted in a boil water advisory for affected areas.
Since then, crews have been working tirelessly to repair the damaged main and restore water supply to the affected communities. The filling of the repaired main began earlier this week and is now nearing completion.
City officials have assured residents that the water quality is being closely monitored and is safe to drink. However, testing and stabilization work will still need to be done before the main can be fully operational.
This includes conducting pressure and flow tests to ensure the main is functioning properly and stabilizing the ground around the main to prevent any future issues. The city has also implemented additional measures to prevent any potential contamination of the water supply.
Residents in the affected communities are reminded to continue following the boil water advisory until it is officially lifted by the city. The advisory will remain in place until all necessary testing and stabilization work is completed.
City officials have expressed their gratitude to residents for their patience and understanding during this time. They also want to assure the public that the repairs are being done with the highest level of care and attention to ensure the safety and reliability of the water supply.
In conclusion, while the filling of the repaired feeder main is almost complete, testing and stabilization work will continue to ensure the safety and reliability of the water supply. The city remains committed to completing the project within the designated timeline and will continue to provide updates to the public as the work progresses.
