AHS Lifts Boil Water Advisory For Community of Bowness

Alberta Health Services (AHS) has lifted the Boil Water Advisory for the community of Bowness, five days after a water main break in the area.

“As water quality has been restored, the boil water advisory issued June 5, 2024, has been lifted, effective immediately”, said a statement by AHS on Monday evening.

“All residents and businesses in this community can return to normal water consumption practices, as boiling is no longer required.”

However, the Stage 4 outdoor watering restrictions implemented by the City of Calgary of still remain in place, said the statement.

The city said it made changes to “deliver safe drinking water from the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant to the community of Bowness by bypassing the damaged feeder main.” The city also reminded Calgarians that it is imperative to continue to conserve water so demand does not outstrip supply.

“Crews continue to work on the feeder main break near 16 Avenue N.W. and Home Road”, said the statement.

Also, the city said a fire ban is still in effect and that16 Avenue remains closed at Home Road N.W.
