The boil water advisory that was in effect for southwest Calgary communities has now been lifted, according to the City of Calgary.
The City of Calgary advises that if you have not used your water for the past 24 hours or more, and your home or business is in the affected area, to run the bathtub water for five to 10 minutes, then turn the other faucets to cold for five minutes.
AHS has tested the water quality in the area and confirmed that it is safe to consume.
A boil water advisory has been issued for parts of southwest Calgary after a water service line broke on private property.
As a result, Alberta Health Services has ordered the City of Calgary to issue the advisory to 500 homes and businesses in the community of Spruce Cliff, plus limited areas of Wildwood and Rosscarrock.
After the service line broke, in the course of shutting off the water to the affected property, there was a disruption to the water main that supplies drinking water to the surrounding area, the City of Calgary said.
While the City expected water service to be restored in the area by Friday afternoon, AHS issued the boil water advisory.
The City of Calgary said the issue is not related to the Bearspaw South feeder main, nor did it involve a break on a city water main.
It’s expected that the order will be in place for a minimum of three days in order to allow time to flush the water main and conduct the appropriate water quality testing, the City of Calgary said.
