Occupational Health and Safety have given crews permission to resume work on a broken Calgary water main after two workers were sent to hospital on Wednesday.

According to Chris Collier, City of Calgary occupational health and safety director, the two men — one an employee with the City of Calgary and a contractor — were using a come along system when a chain broke.

“One worker was in serious condition, non-life threatening and the other was in stable, non-life-threatening condition and is now released.” Collier said.

Collier said that there are safety protocols for returning and that has been underway since OHS gave them clearance.

Meanwhile, Calgary Mayor Joyti Gondek continued to ask Calgarians to band together as there is a ‘concerning trend” with water usage.

Gondek said that there was an increase in water usage Wednesday taking the water levels lower than it had been in previous days.

“This morning, we were at a place where we really didn't have enough of a cushion for life saving efforts like those in hospitals or in firefighting.” Gondek pleaded.
