Swift pipe repairs could lift Calgary water restrictions sooner than planned

Calgary could see its water restrictions lift sooner than expected as the city announced that repairs have been “progressing faster than expected.”

Assuming repairs continue to progress smoothly, Calgarians could expect a return to normal water usage by July 5, just in time for Stampede.

“As we look at the work completed to date, specifically the excavations and exposing the five sections of pipe, we can now share we are aiming for the low end of our original timeline of three to five weeks, which would be July 5,” says City of Calgary Infrastructure Services General Manager Michael Thompson.

“There are still many risks ahead, but every day we work through this complex repair, we become more confident in our timeline.”

More to come…
