- Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said on Thursday that construction on five hotspots on the water feeder main is continuing track, following its break.
“Crews continue to cut and remove segments of the pipe where the hotspots are, and that work is about halfway done," she told media.
Gondek also said sections of the pipe that have been treated are on standby and will be brought to the sites as needed.
Michael Thompson with the City of Calgary said the pipes shipped up from San Diego, Calif., are currently being sandblasted and coated.
Water use in the city continued to hold the line, but with a warm weekend ahead, Gondek said "it’s a good time to about ways to stay cool and save water."
It was also announced Thursday that members of Calgary’s construction community can access non-potable water from the Bow River at two sites in the city.
But Coby Duerr with the Calgary Emergency Management Agency reiterated that it was not safe for drinking and it was only to be used for commercial construction and landscape activities.
“The water is not currently available to the general public,” Duerr said.

better not raise our water billl.... we paid for this over 30 years of taxes.
Just.... what?
Or else what you gonna do huh??
I pay 200 a month for water!
O they will, and your property tax as well.. they will definitely take advantage of a good disaster and gaslight everyone every step of the way. This is what happens when people vote in a progressive socialist. This city is on its way to the San Fransisco hell hole version, and we get to pay for it
I know every city worker is very busy with the water main repair, just curious when the 4’ tall grass around the city will be cut?? Or should we just stop paying taxes seeing as nothing gets done in this city anymore 🤔
Saw them cutting the grass today... no idea you comprehend the fact they are very busy. But still want routinely cut grass... ur aware it takes days not hour right?
@@sabagecabage7828 Everyone's aware of that. What some are not aware is that the city is there to serve, not the lecture or fine.
It’s okay just let the grass grow July 15 is start of winter anyways
Rational, Educated and Responsive to the General Public: from Alberta?
Ask AUC, you will have a better understanding why power grid failure in the future won’t be surprised… don’t blame engineers, don’t blame inspectors…
Yeah go to movies and flush toilets there?! Wth!
thats not what she meant, watch the video again
These updates are about as useful as the Mayor.
Emough with the rainbow crap. Fix the damn pipes
Politicians know which one to get more votes than the other.. so be it
It’s “alternative math” 2+2 =22 should be acceptable answer
It's the rainbow crap that put Calgary in that situation!
That 10 mill she blew on a new slogan would come in handy right now hey.
Why’s the mayor explaining?
It’s engineering work.
teamwork approach. part of the communications section of the Emergency Response.
I wonder if the mayor still thinks vehicles can go through that pipe. 😂
Hopefully all the engineers and asset managers have been fired.
TY to the company that's helping our city. TY to the fire department for keeping all of us safe.
Next time you want to make money and stay cool, don't be stupid, just fly your private jet to Davos and purchase shares in Berkshire Hathaway.
Not showering comment at 3:38 is helping, yet our Mayor Jyoti Gondek, her hair looks clean every day? :)
Hair doesn't need washing everyday in order to look clean. There are ways of washing your hair without showering.
I was just about to saw this.... Useless .... Time for a recall.
@@garyhaggquist740 Has she skipped her showers ? She hasn't said . Is she skipping laundry ? She has not said.
@@MizrahiChick A recall for hair that looks too good? Ha ha ha! Conservatives need to stop with the misogynistic attacks on female politicians. Misogyny is a human rights violation.
@@Fadesign100 A recall for hair that looks too good? Ha ha ha!
Why do you keep pumping out propaganda! Just fix the pipe!
did you watch the video? thats what they are doing right now but sadly construction isnt instant.... hope this helps!
It's all she can do!
Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes!
Isn't it ironic that the hygiene recommendations from this speech nearly duplicate the commercial for the Joker's Brand New Product! Smylex!
These "authorities" told us. Don't drink the water or use it to cleanse yourself. They sound real smart. Apparently, water is not as necessary as I thought. We should all use Brawndo to bathe and grow crops. It has electrolytes!
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
I now identify as a camel
Most important take-away: Canada is not broken yet. People still love the opportunity, natural or not, to sacrifice themselves as well as others.
Maybe she shouldn’t have taking that trip to Hollywood, for her and her family. We wouldn’t need emergency fun’s
Brawndo is The Thirst Mutilator!
The next time I have an extra $1,000 of disposable income, which will be never according to this fiscal plan, I will make a down payment on the insurance to Geico (Berkshire Hathaway) for an imaginary Tesla, and 2 weeks of energy payments to Berkshire Hathaway (that's because the richest private company in the world also owns our power grid), and I will drive it "to check out a movie in the theatre, or maybe go hang out at the mall". In this imaginary world of someone else paying all my bills, I will also visit my imaginary basement to cool off.
she sad one person saved 50 gallons. I got about 200 gallons into coolers and 4 rain barrels my plants are very thankful lol
and you will save 6 bucks on your bill
@@mikej238 my bet they will just raise the prices saying we have to pay for mother natures rain and just raise the bill anyways. Won’t save a dollar probably cost me more. Wait till the raise property tax even more next year to pay for all the commie socialist programs and say it’s because of infer structure projects. Just gaslighting us all once again.
Hi😂, i don't have shower for every 3 days, after running and working out. I also ignored the uncomfortable feeling and my long hair messed. I hope, bill this month is low as award for making every drop count.
Hmm I wonder if road contractors or city road repair crews in the past. Did not have the critical information of what lies beneath their job sites? Using heavy compactor equipment above the failed pipe?
It would be good to distribute rain barrels to save that 50 gal for each residence. Maintenance to avoid Mosquito farms should be addressed as well. This is a water conservation process not a tax on consumers. There should be an infrastructure and or contingency budget for these instances
So if its july 5, thars 16 more days. Im hanging onto july 5. I feel alot better now that there is a deadline date.
Just use what you need! No one is going to stop you!
@@charlesward9486unless we run out of
The bias bylaw officers should be checking out gondek's place she seems to be very clean
shoulder epaulettes are rainbow, It's going to be a no for me, dawg.
Where’s nenshi
LOL....starting off the press conference trying to speak native language is cheesy, stupid and typical of the type of person now running most of Canada's cities. I bet the native bands are really impressed with her doing this.
Help me understand this, I'm an American. Is Calgary having a problem paying for the water project? Because if I'm not mistaken the previous premiere of Alberta gave TransCanada $2 billion to build an oil pipeline to the US border. And then the XL Pipeline was canceled.
you must be american because your completely mistaken we don’t drink oil in Canada in fact we don’t use the same pipes for oil and water but I wouldn’t expect you to understand that
Your right they lied
@@tysons9222You must be slow. My point is that your premiere handed over $2 billion to TransCanada for a pipeline to nowhere. But yet Calgary seems to be having a problem with a water pipeline that should have been replaced years ago.
@@theylied1776 It's a 100 year pipe that's 50 years into it's life, replaced years ago ? you must be slow!
@@rogergiddy2634 Then why did your mayor at her last press conference say that it should have been replaced years ago but they couldn't get funding. So they have to replace it when it fails? You might want to go back and watch her first press conference.
They really don't like answering questions directly, do they? SMH
hi my brother is afected when will he be able too have drinking water and living condishines.
What city does he live in?
Omg - COUZINZ - WE ALL preyed TOO much for WATER! TROPICAL STORM ' ALBERT OOOH ' made landfall in texas !🇨🇦
What's the big deal? We haven't adjusted our water consumption and everything's fine! Lawn is looking good, trucks are washed and clean. We pay for what we use!
BTW, How much did your pearls necklace cost?
Jealous?
Maybe they are fake.
@@anthonyhulse1248 I am a man 😂
Don't use Brand X! With Joker Brand, you'll get a grin, again, and again!!!
This is inacceptable
They're all clowns
Normally, when your district is on a boil water alert and you have to pick up potable water from the water wagons, you would receive passes to use the showers at the City's recreational centers which are now closed. Really, the pools recycle their water through filters with only a little make up water so closing the pools doesn't really make sense and seems to just be cosmetic to convince people who would otherwise point ignorant fingers and cry "What about them...". The showers at the recreational systems do use fresh water but it would still be conserving compared to home use plus not every pass will get used and if used will probably be used less frequently due to the inconvenience. Closing the recreational centres just seems counter productive to me.
There actually are showers that filter and reuse their water but those systems are very expensive so I don't think recycling showers would ever be invested in unless a company makes their systems affordable but hotels have used such systems successfully albeit not very many of hotels have done so.
Why was the basic infrastructure of Calgary sold to Berkshire Hathaway for pennies on the dollar? Who profited?
Great leadership by Mayor Gondek during this trying time for Calgary! A good time to mention that conservatives need to stop with the misogynistic attacks on female politicians. Misogyny is a human rights violation.
To bad the citizens don't feel the same way...
@@sabagecabage7828 Nah, the vast majority of citizens do not support misogyny. They care about how their mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers are treated.
male or female.. WORST MAYOR EVER!
@@mikej238 The pathetic attempt to recall (remove) mayor Gondek was a complete failure. Clearly your views are shared by a small minority of Calgarians.
Your doing an amazing job keep up the good work
