Alberta Health Services has lifted the boil water advisory for the Calgary community of Bowness.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has lifted the boil water advisory for the Calgary community of Bowness.
AHS issued a statement at 7 p.m. on Monday.
"As water quality has been restored, the boil water advisory issued June 5, 2024, has been lifted, effective immediately," AHS said.
"All residents and businesses in this community can return to normal water consumption practices, as boiling is no longer required."
The City of Calgary said residents don't need to flush their systems first.
"The city made changes to deliver safe drinking water from the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant to the community of Bowness by bypassing the damaged feeder main," the city said in its own statement.
The boil water advisory was put in place in the aftermath of a 78-inch feeder main bursting this past Wednesday.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
