Calgary Builders Hope to Work With City to Reduce Impact of New Water Restrictions

The Epoch Times

Calgary builders say they’re glad the city has given them advance notice of a renewed water shutdown to help them cope with what has been a summer of setbacks that have cost millions of dollars.

The Calgary Construction Association says it’s working with the city on ways to mitigate the impact of new water restrictions, which are set to begin in less than three weeks, on Aug. 26.

Association president Bill Black says municipal water restrictions have disrupted concrete pouring schedules while municipal fire bans have played havoc with welding schedules, leading to the lost revenue.

Residents in Calgary and surrounding communities were just moving on from an initial round of voluntary and mandatory water restrictions when a new ban was announced this week.

The original restrictions were put in place after a northside water main broke in early June.

Mayor Jyoti Gondek says further tests on the pipe indicate there are more trouble spots that need to be fixed over September, leading to the return of restrictions.
