Calgary mayor outlines how Stampede plans to limit water usage as repairs likely done in 3 weeks

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek provided another update on Thursday about the work being done to repair a catastrophic water main break and return the city’s water supply to normal, while also applauding the efforts of Calgarians and businesses alike to limit water usage.

Gondek also outlined the efforts Calgary Stampede leadership is taking to move forward with the outdoor show despite water restrictions. This includes using non-potable or non-treated water for some tasks like cleaning and caring for the chuckwagon track.

Gondek said the Stampede is also working with the province to find treated water that can be trucked in to supply drinking water for both visitors to the Stampede and livestock. Despite these efforts, she says the city is doing “everything possible” to get the city back to a normal flow of water by July 5.

The mayor also chastised some Calgarians who she said have been “harassing” city workers doing water-related work. “This is not acceptable,” she said, adding that any complaints should be logged with 311.
