The City of Calgary has activated its Municipal Emergency Plan on Thursday as the fallout from a water main break the night before continued to escalate.
The break occurred in a key water supply pipe that carries water across the city and crews have narrowed down the location of the break, city officials said during a news conference on Thursday.
Crews are working “around the clock” to repair the feeder main, which is a large artery to move drinking water across the city and beyond. The Bearspaw South feeder main serves 1.2 million Calgarians, as well as regional customers in Airdrie, Chestermere and Strathmore.
Officials said that crews will determine a plan for repairs once they are able to see the size of the water main break and what needs to be replaced. However, they couldn’t give a timeline of when repairs will be finished because of how “dynamic” the situation is.
Contingency plans are in place in case the situation worsens.
