City officials said at a press conference Friday afternoon that five further locations require repair along a water feeder main that’s drastically affected water service in the city. That means repairs could take another three to five weeks.
Sue Henry, Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) chief, called the situation “the most dramatic and traumatic break of the feeder main they have ever seen.”
If water usage in Calgary continues at its current rate, the city could be forced to bring in mandatory indoor water restrictions, the mayor said Friday, calling the situation “urgent and catastrophic.”
Jyoti Gondek delivered that message Friday morning during an update on the latest water main break developments as part of a plea for better conservation efforts from residents.

Or maybe pump it into a well to displace oil out. My impression is she simps for oil interests way harder than farmers.
