Calgary mayor says brief shutdown of water main coming in September
Mayor Jeromy Farkas says the closure is planned work for a new pumping station, with any outdoor watering limits depending on weather and demand.
- Mayor Jeromy Farkas announced on Thursday that the Bearspaw South Feeder Main will close for less than a week in September to complete electrical work on a new pumping station.
- Work began earlier this year to fast-track a replacement for the Bearspaw feeder main, which suffered its second catastrophic failure in less than two years back in December.
- The feeder main provides 60 per cent of treated water for the 1.6 million residents of Calgary, nearby municipalities and the Tsuut'ina Nation.
- Farkas said in a social media post Thursday that this is "planned work," noting any September restrictions would be easier for residents to manage with outdoor watering likely permitted.
- Final work on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main is scheduled for October, when Farkas anticipates about four more weeks of water restrictions as the city completes the replacement in a single year.
