Here’s a summary of the key data from the provided text:
* Boil Water advisory: Parts of Calgary (Parkdale, Montgomery, and point McKay) are under a boil water advisory due to a major water main break.
* Conservation Measures: Residents are urged to limit water use: showers to three minutes, flush toilets only when necessary, and run dishwashers/washing machines only when full.
* Water Supply Issues: Bottled water is already sold out at some stores (like Real Canadian Superstore).
* Cause of Break: The break occurred in the Bearspaw south feeder main. While the cause is still being investigated, the impact of sodium chloride (which contributed to a 2024 break) is being assessed. There were no warning signs before this failure.
* Repair Timeline: Repairs are estimated to take 7-10 days,including draining,repairing,refilling,and testing the water.
* Improved Response: City officials believe they are “days ahead” of the response compared to the previous break,and have increased water distribution from the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant.
