Repair on the critical water main break in Calgary has come to a standstill after two workers were injured on the job overnight.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek announced on Thursday morning that the two workers had been taken to hospital but thankfully, neither are in critical condition.
“Crews instituted an immediate safety stop and work on the pipe has been halted. We currently have a team working with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety in that area and we expect that repair work on the feeder main will not resume before this afternoon.”
Gondek took a moment to praise the ongoing efforts of the workers and warned Calgarians about the critical state of water consumption in the city.
