Calgary mayor says city considering replacing water pipe that ruptured
CALGARY — Calgary’s mayor says the city is considering ways to strengthen a key water main for the long term, including replacing it altogether.
Jyoti Gondek says in the spring the city could add a liner or a sleeve to the pipe to strengthen it, or dig alongside it and built an entirely new one.
The pipe in northwest Calgary ruptured in early June, drenching a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway and nearby parkland.
The break forced Calgarians to undertake a series of water conservation measures, from not watering lawns to taking shorter showers.
