As construction crews continue to work on hot spots of one of Calgary's main water feeder lines, replacement pipe shipped from San Diego is expected to arrive Tuesday evening according to General Manager of Infrastructure Services Michael Thompson.

"I can now share that the sections of pipe from San Diego are expected to arrive in Alberta today to be prepared for installation and will be transported to site when ready," Thompson said. However, he added that installation however will not happen immediately.

"The preparation will take some time. We have to sandblast them and epoxy coat them prior to installing them," Thompson said, stating that the timeline of three to five weeks for repairs currently remains, but that the city is committed to providing an update by the end of the week.

Thompson also commented on the third-party review looking into the burst feeder main has been confirmed. "The scope of the review will include, but not be limited to, understanding the factors that contributed to the original pipe failure, current practices for inspection and asset sustainability and recommendations for specific actions to improve water supply resilience," he said.
