City officials will update Calgarians on Wednesday with the latest developments on the city’s water system.
On Tuesday, the city said Indoor water use can now return to normal in Calgary and neighbouring communities, though Mayor Jyoti Gondek continue to urge residents to ease back into their regular water-use habits as crews work to fully stabilize the system.
The city remains under a state of local emergency and outdoor Stage 4 water restrictions and a citywide fire ban remain in place as crews determine how the system will respond to the easing of indoor conservation measures.
The state of local emergency expires on Thursday, and the city will review whether to renew or lift it as they monitor the situation.
The City of Calgary’s general manager of infrastructure services, Michael Thompson, said on Tuesday the Bearspaw south feeder main — which ruptured on June 5 — is operating at 50 per cent capacity for now, and restoring normal water supply also means taking some of the stress off of the rest of the system.
