release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Advisory expected to last 3 days<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the city
