Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek provided an update on the ongoing repairs of damaged pipes following a water main break that had led to restrictions and a state of emergency in the local area. Gondek announced that the cutting and removal of the damaged pipe had been successfully completed the previous day, marking a significant milestone in the repair process. She also mentioned that welding had begun and would continue over the weekend as the city works towards installing new pipes.
Despite the progress made, Gondek emphasized that the July 5th target for completing the repairs was still in place and urged residents to adhere to the outdoor watering ban that was currently in effect. The goal is to have all repair work finished before the start of the Calgary Stampede, scheduled to run from July 5th to 14th. Gondek expressed confidence in the community’s ability to cooperate and conserve water, stating, “Calgary, I know you’ve got this in you.”
