The City of Calgary is preparing to undertake urgent reinforcement work of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main to maintain the health and stability of Calgary’s water system.
Starting March 9, The City will begin reinforcing sections of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main to help stabilize the most vulnerable areas and reduce the chances of another break until the new steel pipe is ready in December. This work will take approximately four weeks.
Water restrictions will be in place beginning March 9
The feeder main will be taken out of service to complete construction. During this time, it’s critical that all Calgarians and the surrounding regions use less water. Outdoor water restrictions and indoor water conservation will be in effect starting March 9. No outdoor water use will be permitted during this time.
We’re asking all Calgarians to save 25-30 litres of water per day indoors by taking the following actions:
Keep showers short, three minutes or less.
Flush toilets only when necessary.
Only run dishwashers and washing machines when there is a full load.
