Officials with the City of Calgary will update the critical water main break at 2 p.m.
During her daily update earlier on Monday Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said that the broken main is on track to be repaired by July 5.
Gondek also added that while water usage remained below the maximum threshold over the weekend, she urged residents to use less water because it can be required to put out fires – such as a blaze extinguished on Sunday evening.
On Sunday, Calgary Infrastructure Services general manager Michael Thompson said crews continue to make good progress on repairing the five hotspots of a feeder main along 16th Avenue NW.
He also said reinforcing steel has been installed and concrete has been poured, which is now being cured ahead of backfilling this week.
“I was at the site this morning and welding at the other four hotspots is progressing well. Installation of the adapters and the associated welding of the adapters is nearing completion,” Thompson said.
“New segments of steel pipe will start to arrive to site today and welding of the new segments of steel pipe to the adapters should start later today.”
