Work to repair Calgary's broken water feeder main has resumed after two workers were injured on Wednesday night.
The pair were hit while welding reinforcements to the pipe, which had been lowered into the ground when a come-along they were using snapped and a chain struck the pair.
The mayor made the announcement during her regular update on the progress of the project on Thursday morning.
"Two people were injured on-site overnight," she said.
"Both were taken to hospital and neither were in critical condition."
On Wednesday night, crews were tasked with moving the replacement piece of feeder main into place, so crews could commence work on welding the new section onto the existing pipeline.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) investigators were on-site through most of Thursday morning.
