Calgary crews continue to search for the source of a “catastrophic” break in a feeder water main that’s plunged the city’s water supply into a critical state.
The large water main — as wide as two metres in parts — suffered a break Wednesday night that left hundreds of homes and businesses in the city’s northwest without water.
During an update Thursday afternoon, the city said Calgary remains under Stage 4 water restrictions, meaning mandatory outdoor water restrictions remain in effect.
So easy to cripple a city?
I admit, I don’t understand how it all works so I have questions.
A water main break in NW Calgary has now put all 1.5 million residents under a severe water restriction status where they can’t even shower.
We don’t know how long this will last.
So how is it that one water…
