Calgary’s Water Future Under Pressure | Calgary News

Calgary brace for temporary outdoor water limits in September due to essential electrical work at the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant — a quick fix, lasting less than a week, with some outdoor use still allowed. This is part of the massive $533M North Calgary Water Servicing Project, installing a 22-km feeder main to boost capacity and modernize aging infrastructure. But don’t relax yet — Stage 4 restrictions loom for October, possibly lasting four weeks, to complete the critical $439M replacement of the failing Bearspaw South feeder main, which carries 60% of Calgary’s water and has already broken twice since 2024. The mayor calls it a “ticking time bomb” — crews are racing to get the new line online by December before another disaster strikes.
