A petition has been launched in the community of Bowness, calling for compensation for residents who have been affected by a recent water shortage.
The petition, which was started by Bowness resident Sarah Johnson, has gained over 500 signatures in just a few days. Johnson says that the water shortage has caused significant inconvenience and financial burden for many residents in the area.
According to Johnson, the water shortage began on April 25th and lasted for several days. During this time, residents were advised to limit their water usage and were even left without water for a period of time.
Many residents were forced to purchase bottled water or use alternative sources, such as filling up jugs at nearby parks. This not only caused inconvenience but also added unexpected expenses for many families.
Johnson believes that the City of Calgary should take responsibility for the water shortage and provide compensation to affected residents. She argues that the city should have been better prepared for such a situation and that residents should not have to bear the financial burden.
In response to the petition, the City of Calgary has stated that they are aware of the situation and are currently investigating the cause of the water shortage. They have also assured residents that they will be providing updates and information as it becomes available.
In the meantime, Johnson and other residents are hoping that the petition will bring attention to the issue and lead to some form of compensation for those affected.
Residents in Bowness are encouraged to sign the petition and voice their concerns about the water shortage. Johnson hopes that the city will take action and provide some form of compensation for the inconvenience and financial burden that residents have faced.
As the situation continues to unfold, residents are reminded to stay informed and follow any updates from the City of Calgary.
