The City of Calgary said a water\u00a0service line broke on private property on Friday morning.\u00a0In the course of\u00a0shutting off water\u00a0to\u00a0the affected property, there was a disruption to the water main\u00a0supplying drinking water to\u00a0the wider area, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
The issue is not related to the Bearspaw south feeder main or the repair work being done on it, nor did it involve a break on another city water main, the release added.<\/p>\n
Advisory expected to last 3 days<\/p>\n
While the city expects water service to be restored on Friday, AHS issued the boil-water advisory as a precautionary measure. <\/p>\n
It anticipates the order being in place for a minimum of three days to “allow time to flush the water main and complete the necessary water quality testing. “<\/p>\n
