Worst mayor ever

She fired!

Born and raised Calgarian for 62 years ,this is all crap .two days ago the mayor wanted you to phone 311 and give praise to the workers doing their job ,that the are paid VERY well for and now this .I saw it coming .What a total embarrassment,next October vote all of them out and take the clown show management teams with them , by the way it is unfortunate they got hurt.

Gondek is a complete hack. Alarmism is all this is.

So I have to let my garden die, take a two minutes shower, not flush the toilets as often and put off washing my clothes while the golf courses and car washes are wide open????? Nice leadership city council. I blame all those idiots.

@@HeyMyNameIsLukas They are precast concrete, check out Lafarge's catalogue for the products likely used in this area. Civic water supply is not high pressure, these are likely 900mm-1500mm or even larger. Maintaining high pressure over a large cross sectional area like that is neither feasible nor necessary. I'm a P.Eng but haven't worked in Infrastructure for a decade but the highest pressure feeder I saw was rated for 120psi (830ish kpa) Compare that to oil and gas where fracking hose is regularly subject to pressures in the 100 Mpa or 15000 psi range or higher. If you want very high pressure you gotta go small diameter and metal/composite as opposed to concrete

It's sad to say but most North American infrastructure systems are very vulnerable to single point failures like this. Be them water, sewer, electrical, internet oil, road and rail. Lots and lots of infrastructure it's already into its Elder years and will need replacing or upgrading. We have deferred Capital maintenance and Improvement projects too long. And the top it all off where in some kind of Dash to jack up the population numbers seemingly without consideration for future demand let alone maintaining capacity.

Another update from the DEI hire

OHS has to do their investigation so it could take some time. I bet there were no safety personnel at the site because they were hurrying and that’s what happens go figure I hope the workers recover completely. They could get a waterworks company to run temp lines in about 24-48 hrs. Might not be as much but at least it is something. Poor planning on all counts. Keep voting the way you are Calgary.

Best wishes for a full recovery to the workers.

Imagine the pressure on them, prayers
