The Great 2024 Calgary Water Main Break Saga: An Update


So the water’s still off, but it sounds like they’re at the stage where they’ve repaired everything they can see and are going to start flushing the pipes and then test the water quality. If the water quality is good, they can start running the water properly. So we’ll see how that goes!

Keep conserving, Calgary!

And go spend some money at the businesses in Bowness; they’re losing a lot of business due to the road closures.

A big section of the bike/walking paths are blocked off due to the flushing/testing.

Signs on the fence around the flushing/testing.

A shot through the fence of the part of the pathway that got washed away by the initial break.

Party time!
