Actions taken since June 2024

  • Repaired 29 pipe segments along the Bearspaw South Feeder Main. 
  • Installed fibre optic acoustic monitoring along the feeder main.

  • Assessed every reported wire snap for risk and corrective action. 
  • Updated the asset management and pipe integrity program using lessons from the 2024 break. 
  • Developed emergency repair plans, including securing critical spare parts. 
  • Adjusted operations to reduce pressure and limit flow changes where possible. 
  • Added distribution bypasses to help move water around vulnerable sections. 
  • Finalized design for the Bearspaw South Feeder Main Improvements Project and issued a Request for Proposal in December 2025. 
  • Started construction of the North Feeder Main (North Calgary Water Servicing Project) in fall 2025 to support system redundancy, so that there is more than one way to move water through the system.
