Road closed after after water main break in northwest Calgary
CBC
The City of Calgary is reporting a water main break in the northwest community of Montgomery.
Calgary police say they have shut down Bowness Road N.W. between 51st Street and Home Road on Friday afternoon after water began pooling onto the roadway at the intersection of 49th Street.
Traffic is being diverted through a parking lot in the area, according to police, and a three-way stop has been instituted at the affected intersection.
Carol Henke, public information officer for the Calgary Fire Department, told CBC News that crews were called to that location at around 4:15 p.m. for reports of a "water leak."
As of 6 p.m. on Friday, the city says 14 homes and 10 businesses have been affected by the service disruption.
In an email statement to CBC News, a spokesperson for the city said "water crews are on-site and currently responding."
"While the break is in the vicinity of the Bearspaw south feeder main, it is affecting a nearby pipe and not the feeder main itself."
