Mayor Jyoti Gondek says work is progressing simultaneously on five issues identified in the city's feeder main last week and residents are being asked for continued patience with Calgary's water conservation measures.
The mayor offered an update on CTV Morning Live Calgary on Monday, saying the initial water main break is fully repaired, so crews are focussing on the five areas identified by technical teams last week.
"The other five were not breaks, so it is anticipated that we can get to those spots and get the repair work done quickly," Gondek said.
Over the weekend, officials said parts needed for the water main repair are coming in from all over North America.
"There are two new construction sites that are going up right now, between 45 and 46 Street and between Bowness Road and 43 Street so that is going to impact traffic," Gondek said, adding there are detours in place for drivers.
She says the city is working on locating temporary parking spaces for businesses that will be impacted by the ongoing work.
Gondek said with support coming in from a number of different places, it could mean repairs could be completed a lot faster than first expected.
