The City of Calgary is onsite responding to a water main break east of the Sarcee Trail/16 Ave N.W. interchange. At this point, it’s too early to confirm the cause or the extent of the damage. 

Given its location and an initial assessment, we expect the break is related to the Bearpaw South Feedermain. We are assessing the water pressure to determine the impacts to residents in neighbouring communities. 

The City of Calgary is opening the Emergency Operations Centre and activating the Municipal Emergency Plan. 

The Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Fire Department are also at the location to detour traffic around the area. Please avoid the area. You can find all traffic impacts on the roads and traffic web page at https://www.calgary.ca/roads/conditions/traffic.html

We will give a public update once we have a better understanding of the impacts and we know more information.
