Quick overnight thaw leads to water main breaks in a dozen Calgary communities Thursday

Rising temperatures led to at least 12 water main breaks overnight, leaving dozens of Calgary homes without water Thursday morning. The city website shows breaks and water outages all around the city. Emergency water wagons were distributed to affected neighbourhoods. Shane Eustace lost water to his Ogden home and hopes it gets restored soon. “It’s a little bit of a pain. It’s the first time we’ve had a water main out since we’ve been in the area and first time we’ve had to use the emergency water,” Eustace said.
