Boil Water Advisory Hits SW Calgary Communities

A boil water advisory is currently in effect for approximately 100 homes in the Eagle Ridge and Heritage Park communities in southwest Calgary. This advisory was issued by Alberta Health Services following an unexpected depressurization of a water main on Friday. The incident occurred while crews were undertaking planned repairs on the affected water main.

To ensure water safety, residents must bring water to a rolling boil for one minute before use for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. The advisory also affects water used for cleaning raw food and preparing infant formula. In-home water filters are not considered sufficient protection. All southbound lanes of 14th Street, between 75th Avenue S.W. and Heritage Drive S.W., are closed until further notice to facilitate necessary repairs. Water wagons will be made available to residents, with locations and updates accessible online.
