Overview
- As of Wednesday, August 26, 2026, the City of Calgary finished Stage A microtunnelling for the Bearspaw South Feeder Main and installed a concrete carrier pipe with more than two kilometres of steel pipe inside it.
- Stage B open‑cut work along 34 Ave. N.W. in Bowness is about 40 percent complete with over one kilometre of new steel feeder main laid and several blocks reopened to traffic.
- Phase one of connections at the Shaganappi Pump Station starts in September and will require a temporary shutdown of the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant in mid‑September to enable safe tie‑in work on the system.
- A planned mid‑October shutdown of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main will allow final pipe tie‑ins and open‑cut repairs while crews complete six proactive repairs on the separate 1,500 mm section to improve long‑term reliability.
- Officials say temporary outdoor water restrictions may be required during the October tie‑ins depending on weather and demand, and residents can get updates and ask questions at the Bowness Community Resource Centre or calgary.ca/bearspawfeedermain.
