Calgary is undertaking repairs on the Bearspaw water feeder main, starting August 26 and lasting until the end of September. This work will require Stage 4 outdoor water restrictions as the main is taken offline. The repairs involve strengthening 16 newly discovered weak spots along a 10km stretch of pipeline. Mayor Jyoti Gondek has outlined both short-term fixes and long-term plans, including potential pipe replacement and the addition of north and south feeder mains to improve water distribution from the Bearspaw treatment plant.
