Repairs to ruptured water main remain on schedule for Stampede fix
‘Work is progressing but we’re not out of the woods yet as we enter this (next) phase,’ said Michael Thompson, the city’s general manager of infrastructure services
Mayor Jyoti Gondek and Michael Thompson, the city’s general manager of infrastructure services, repeated their previous forecasts that work should be completed by July 5 — one month after the line ruptured — but said contingencies remain in place until service is fully restored.
“Work is progressing but we’re not out of the woods yet as we enter this (next) phase,” Thompson said during Monday’s afternoon update. “We still have a lot of work to do and we’ll be updating with more information as we go forward.”
Once the last of the five identified hot spots is fixed, the site will need to be backfilled before the line is flushed and water returned to the system is tested, Thompson said.
“We need to ensure we take all the necessary steps to introduce water back into the pipe while we monitor closely for any additional issues,” he said.
