The City of Calgary is set to unveil the planned repair sites along the Bearspaw South feeder main Thursday, with work scheduled to begin in less than two weeks.
Officials announced last week the city would move back to Stage 4 outdoor water restrictions on Aug. 26, as more than a dozen trouble spots were found by a pipe diver device and need repair.
Restrictions are expected to last until Sept. 23 to give workers the chance to make necessary repairs.
During this time, there will be a total ban on watering lawns and gardens, and Calgarians will be strongly encouraged to reduce their indoor water use.
City officials are also encouraging residents and businesses to plan ahead and take advantage of using potable water while they can.
Businesses are being asked to find ways to cut 25 per cent reduction of their regular daily water usage during the time the pipe is turned off. The city says no businesses will be asked to close, including car washes.
Non-potable water stations will once again be set up along the river for people to use when the tighter restrictions take effect, according to officials.
More to come.
