The village water supply was shut off, the valve was excavated and replaced. The water lines were flushed during the night as water pressure was resumed. Provincial regulations dictated that we issue a boil water notice for a specified length of time after the water was opened to replace the valve.
The water was tested and the boil water notice was lifted Sunday afternoon.
There is no good time for a major water main break, but for me these last few days was really bad timing: I was doing my part as a volunteer at the Calgary Stampede Aggie Days!
Fortunately, we have an extremely competent Public Works staff and Gail at the office who took charge and dealt with the issue at hand! They got it done and answered questions! My thanks to those hard working folks. I also want to thank everyone in the Village for your patience and understanding during this past weekend.
