- One down, five to go. Repairs to Calgary’s water main system continue, and Phoenix Phillips looks at what to expect and why the entire line is not being replaced.
I'm betting completion will take the city into August, maybe even September. 🤔
Until they find more issues and extend our restrictions even longer
Calgary desperately needs new leadership ffs
Sounds like you should step up.
This is the leadership they've chosen. I'm happy to see them reap what they've sewn. 😂
Whatever happened to the recall? An oil rig crew would have this repaired in 1 day!
Canada*
So does the provincial government.
Gondek an anti-oil and gas person...who in her first day as a mayor wants calgarians move on from the oil and gas industry. Now oil and gas engineers are part of the team to fix issue...way to go Gondek...we need a real leader ...
These pipes should have been flown in, on a Boeing “DreamLifter” or an Airbus “Beluga” oversized freight plane if the size required it
Those planes can hold 250,000 pounds so a few 12,000 LB pipes aren’t too much. Could have had the pipes in like 5 hours.
Calgary Taxpayers will ensure the outrageous threshold to recall our mayor is adjusted accordingly to ensure this abuse of power is never able to happen again! 😡
The fact that watermain still isn't done proves what a 3rd world country Canada has become.
Due to the type of pipe used, this feeder will continue to rupture. It is passed its best before date.
The City needs to hurry up an build an alternate while this one is still hanging on. Maybe pipes up both north and south Stoney Trail that will tie in with infrastructure at the higher elevations.
Uh Hyprescon does not really expire.... I know I have installed miles of it. Maybe you should watch a video or two about how that type of high pressure pipe is made.
It's planned water rationing for control
@@larrymacdonald4241 it's planned water rationing
@Anonymous.Wisper Jesus Christ you nutjobs really find conspiracies for everything. 😅
How come gondek looks like she showers twice a day?
!!!! 🤣 true
Well, Stampede is still continuing..... That means there's no restrictions anymore.
You dont want me to shower and do my laundry, but you'll bring in tourist money to pay for your spending spree... Instead of what you should've done in the very beginning, a whole infrastructure sweep before spending on frevolous art and make-up.
Sounds like you should relocate.
@@andyanderson3628 Another leftist wacko response.
@@karenjobagy5822 you’re literally a Karen.
Definitely need that ghoul of a mayor to be replaced
!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It's so in your face 😅😅😅😢😢. Water rationing in coming. Planned
Don't worry higher taxes will fix everything.
@@thehazelnutspreadThat’s how you fix climate discrimination.
Hey Gon....give us a daily update on your water meter.
ya what a crock, at this point, I'd be checking into who is doing the water main work and how they are connected to the mayor. corruption and money laundering at its finest
Run for mayor and figure it out
What a wild crazy claim out of left field that makes no sense. Haha
Pipe broke> fix pipe= corruption?
As long as the pipe is rainbow colored nothing else matters!!!😅😅
Keeping the alphabet mafia happy is of utmost importance.
I noticed the city of Calgary managed to find room in the budget to hang rainbows in front of schools, and it front of municipal buildings, to have parades, to decorate their cops in rainbows.. but couldnt find anu funds to put towards maintaining crucial infrastructure..? 😂
When they send in City Workers, you know the job will take Months longer if not Years! One guy standing around with a shovel while 10 others stand around chatting and pointing. 😀😅😂
So, 10 days for 1 repair × 5 more = No Stampede 😢
Yup that's their goal.
Yeah, poor planning. These clowns wont pass an IQ test. If 1 break takes 10 days, how many days does it take to repair 5 breaks? Answer: 10 days with 5 crews.
Gondek, the grim reapers wife.
I didn't know it married Nenshi, I thought it was Nenshi in drag!
😂😂😂
!!!! 🤣🤣
Canada's basic infastructure may be collapsing, but dont worry.. Trudeau found billions to send overseas. 😂
Isn’t that something ? Ikr? . Us Canadians are always at the back of the line as long as Trudeau is in house. Makes me sick.
Is it a FEDERAL PROBLEM?
May be it is, WHY?
Common Canadians have no IDEA of HOW, GOVERNMENT WORKS!
Municipal, City.
Provincial
Federal
Canada needs to teach in VIDEO GAMES, HOW CANADA IS GOVERNED.
MOST PEOPLE ASSIGN BLAME TO PASS IDIOT BRAINWASHING, no CRITICAL THINKING!
Run some overland pipes as a temp work around
If the workers wear rainbow hard hats the pipe will fix itself.
Someone in Calgary painted that message......
Apparently if you vote for tax breaks long enough, your infrastructure actually does crumble. Thanks for proving a point, Alberta!
Could of just used the billions of Canadian Tax dollars, that Trudeau has sent overseas this year alone 🤷♂️🤣 There's a massive surplus of money, so much so we are literally giving it away.
When did we get a tax break in the last 20 years. We had 8% increase even though this clown city hall ran a 236 million dollar surplus
Some woman academic who's never gotten pipe laid is their expert.
Could have fixed it all.. Needed to spend money on nonsense and pride
That pipe is too old... eventually needs full replacement.
same thing just happened in Montana
probably should cancel stampede if there no water
goodluck indeed hahahha
nah, I'm done with beetlejuice. Useless, WEF, puppet
The NDP again…. Messing things up.
The WEF TOLD US problems with water supply would be next.
not a very good Mayer
Thank goodness the Flames are not in the finals... jeesh!
Is the provincial government doing anything?
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
There's your problem right there, you're referring to it in kilometers.
ok Yankee it's Canada bud we use metric system so you worry about state side problems not ours
Our system is far superior
@@georgemcguire5664 Well, the Imperial system got us to the moon and back. Helped us design Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, and the deadliest Fighter Jet in the world. And let's not forget the Internet.
By the way, my point is that they need to look at the old designs for that water system because I can guarantee you it was designed using the Imperial system, not the metric system. That's how OLD that system is!
@@iiyyxxnn Far superior? If you say so. Let us know if you need more shipments of Air Conditioners again this year.
@@theylied1776 We won't be getting them from you guys since you don't manufacture anything anymore.
Calgary, I wish you luck. I do. But this is just a tiny, tiny taste of what's coming in the next few years. It's not even the fault of 95% of you; really.
I mean, it's not like all of you dug up that bitumen and built those pipelines that are pushing up CO2 levels.
We Should Be Checking The TRAINING of The Person In charge Of Pressure . Sounding Like a NEW UNTRAINED HIRE F_CK IT UP .Shhhhhhhhhhhhh . This Is NOT STRUCTURE FATIGUE . Accident Or On PURPOSE In My Opinion !
FISHY BUSINESS !
Hard to believe in the land of milk and honey that. there's these kind of problems. Let us hope that wealthy, filthy, rich land owner and landlord Pierre Polivare's property didn't get ruined by this.
Steel so there is your problem its obviously an old steel line that should have been replaced long ago, no doubt people have had rusty water for a while.
They should be using large pvc pipe you know plastic.
the pipeline is made of concrete reinforced with steel wire
@@zomgoose then why bring in steel pipes if it's not steel, you can buy the precast no problem?
@@Nicklan1961Because oddly enough, as evident by the pipe breaking, concrete erodes over 50 years and needs to be replaced with modern plumbing.
Too bad it's just being hooked up to more concrete that'll just break another km or two down. It's genuinely funny now.
Most cities review their infrastructure every 10-20 years. Calgary continues to be the most shortsighted and ill-engineered city I've lived in with each passing day.
Like you're telling me one pipe feeds 60% of the city with no fallback??? This city has engineering schools and nobody has heard of redundancy???
Like I didn't expect much of the city that uses sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) to treat it's water instead of a rational option but let's do the math here.
60% of the city is affected by the main failure. Calgary's population is 1,665,000.
60% of 1,665,000 is 999,000.
That's 1 million people ±1000 reliant on one pipe.
Everyone responsible should resign immediately. I'm not saying the mayor who inherited a faulty system, but the decades of engineers who let this terrible system fly.
@@MrGriefCreep modern plumping would be the Large PVC pipes most use but some do use pre cast concrete still which is available so why go to LA for Steel Pipe.
Thanks San Diego, we really appreciate your help here in Calgary! But I have to wonder, with Calgary being the huge oil and gas mecca that it is, why don't we have these pipes readily available here? We definitely have the materials and fabrication facilities, not to mention other major cities in Canada. It would be interesting to know why our mayor sourced San Diego. I guess it all comes down to the fact you guys had these pipes readily available on hand. But again, why didn't Calgary? Given the fact the age of our infrastructure and size of our city (820sq km, 1.5 million) and that this infrastructure is in need of upgrading. That's a no-brainer. Hopefully this will send a message to our mayor and to other cities across North America to be better prepared.
When they send in City Workers, you know the job will take Months longer if not Years! One guy standing around with a shovel while 10 others stand around chatting and pointing. 😀😅😂
