Water pressure was successfully raised at the Bearspaw feeder main, and no issues were detected in the pipe, the City of Calgary’s director of capital priorities and investment, Francois Bouchart, said Tuesday.
The move comes more than a month after a catastrophic break of the key feeder main in the city’s northwest.
On Monday, the city said Calgary is moving cautiously toward Stage 2 water restrictions by bringing online another pump at the Bearspaw feeder main.
“Water flow has increased, and as of this afternoon, we have not detected any issues within the pipe that might halt our progress,” Bouchart said.
“Things are going smoothly so far.”
More to come.
