Calgary’s Water Pipe Rescue | Calgary News

Calgary’s massive water pipe replacement project is halfway done—and it’s about to get even more critical. The aging Bearspaw South feeder main, built in 1975 and dubbed “terminally ill,” has ruptured twice already, triggering water restrictions. A brand-new pipeline, running parallel and stretching from Montgomery to Bowness, is now being installed using high-tech micro-tunnelling and open-cut methods. While the new line is expected to be fully operational by December, a four-week shutdown of the old pipe in mid-October will temporarily bring back restrictions. Residents, especially in Bowness, are being thanked for enduring the construction—because once the new system is live, citywide water woes could finally be history.
