Calgary’s Water System ‘Still Under Strain’ as Feeder Main Repair Continues: CEMA

Calgary officials continue staged repairs on the ruptured Bearspaw feeder main while urging residents to reduce daily water use by 30 litres to maintain supply and emergency reserves.

  • Calgary officials say residents need to conserve water by flushing toilets three fewer times per day as a critical feeder main undergoes repairs.
  • The feeder main carries 60% of Calgary's treated water and its rupture on December 30 has led to water shortages in Calgary and nearby Airdrie.
  • Airdrie's Mayor Heather Spearman says residents have reduced water usage by 6-10% but suggests infrastructure upgrades are needed to prevent future incidents.
