Calgary residents cut water consumption to record low as city placed under state of emergency
A major water main broke in the Montgomery and Bowness neighbourhoods in Calgary on Sunday, June 16, 2024. On the evening of June 5th a vehicle-sized water main broke, flooding the Bowness and Montgomery neighborhoods. On the morning of June 6th, at 6:30 a.m. MST, an Amber Alert went off for Calgary and nearby residences, mentioning the water main break, the water restrictions, a boil water advisory for the aforementioned neighbourhoods and a fire ban for Calgary and nearby towns. Originally, with the estimated timeframe for the repair being (at the earliest) 5 - 7 days, it has now been extended to 3 - 5 weeks. During the first several days, water for the Bowness and Montgomery areas had been shut off, and a boil water advisory was put in place with some residents describing what water did come out of the faucets as ‘slimy’. Water wagons had been set up during this time, but have since appeared to be removed now that the advisory has been lifted. (Photo by Jude Brocke/The Globe and Mail)
