Water, Water…Everywhere!

Calgary’s water…HAS RETURNED!

I guess it’s better that all of this nonsense happened in the summer rather than in -40 degree snowy hell.

I mean, I guess it could happen in -40 degree snowy hell, but maybe these repairs will hold.

FOR NOW.

Edit: we actually did a decent job of conserving during this time. It’d be nice if we could conserve like that all the time, though…

Water Main Shutdown COMMENCE

Here we go again!

It sounds like this repair (these repairs?) are going to take a while; we’ll see if the city complies or if people will start rebelling, haha.

The city did do a pretty bad job of getting the word out about this second shutdown, though. You’d think with something as critical as not running out of potable water would warrant, I don’t know, at least like a pamphlet in the mail. Or they could do like they did with the original water main break and send out an emergency alert. Just so that people know what’s going on.

Bah. Who knows. We’ll see.
