Sounds like we don’t need a new building for the Calgary Flames ,rather a new network of delivering water and treatment services to ALL Calgarians

I'm not certain if public funds should be contributed to private ventures such as stadiums either but the stadium is a different group of investors that were solicited with private investments being the primary component so it's not actually fungible with the infrastructure development and maintenance budget but keep on with the ignorant bar stool talk and complaints, it's what incompetent governments are built upon. Note that contributing to solicitations from stadium owners are not only in hopes of generating more tax revenue from increased business but to placate the same barstool patrons that make the complaints you're making...

That is what they get paid to do. This is why we have some of the highest City employee paid wages in the whole of Canada and why your property tax goes up each year. To pay the huge wages. Over 30% are making well over $100K a year. This is also why we have some of the highest property taxes in Canada.

True but thanks also needs to be given to everyone conserving on water so that the Glenmore system can still refill the district reservoirs. However, as it is a capacity issue, wouldn't a small supplementary feeder from the Bearspaw system make up the difference, shouldn't this have been planned and built before the main feeder line needs to be replaced within 25 years as it's in year 50 of it's expected 75 year lifespan. Maybe closing off a few streets to lay down a temporary surface feeder as the military is equipped to do on the battlefield on short notice could help if the public is unwilling to conserve enough though this would push some of the problem to traffic flow. Are such exceptional efforts to address the problem even worthwhile to pursue as the repair will likely be complete in a few days anyways and already mitigating efforts have already removed the Bowness boil water restriction so primary health concerns are being addressed. Maybe, we should just all calm down and just have a can of beer instead of a glass of water. There's over 37,000 water main breaks active in the city at this time. This is the only one that has required city wide conservation. One really serious break out of 37,000 isn't bad...

This pipe is estimated to last 50 yrs ( now at 49th yr). Will the city be fixing it like a pipe in my highrise on 11th floor ( every time a section leaks( every few weeks 😡)= the management fixes few inches= because to replace the whole pipe is too expensive 🤦

Don't they have a way to monitor the pipe for preventative maintenances? If not, aren't they supposed to life cycle pipes instead of wait until they break and stop everyone from using the water? Lastly who's going to be responsible for this? Director of Water Service? City Manager? This shows how badly City is running the infrastructure.

The Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant draws water from the Bearspaw Reservoir on the Bow River, while the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant draws water from the Glenmore Reservoir, which is fed by the Elbow River.

You can't have that. It isn't a vanity project and is therefore not on Gondek's radar. Even though the population is increasing and more houses are going up, so more demand, it is still not there. This is what a Liberal minded mayor gets you. Just backward thinking.

Previous public announcements said that weaknesses were known and excavations to apply reinforcements had been made as part of the regular maintenance so was the actual break just in a section where such reinforcements had not been applied which would indicate a failure in monitoring and inspections or where reinforcements had been applied which would indicate insufficient or poor quality maintenance?

Absolutely useless spokesperson. She clearly does not know what she is talking about. Maybe have a real engineer who knows what they are talking about discuss the issue. Also terrible camera work as we can’t see the graphic. The communication has been abysmal. But that seems to be on par for this mayor and council.

Looking forward to my water bill refund. Given how much of the water I paid for was dumped into the Bow, I shouldn’t have to pay for June at all. Maybe Gondek will use some of her multi-billion dollar “climate emergency” fund to make sure she stops wasting a precious and increasingly expensive resource. After all, she was declaring yet another drought crisis just a few weeks ago. Roughly the same time this water main was “inspected” by her highly skilled team, who said “hmm, we should fix that before something bad happens.” Whoops!
