Work has started on a Calgary water main that broke a day before New Year’s Eve, and officials with the city say they expect the repairs to be completed within two weeks.

The Bearspaw South Feeder Main burst on 16 Avenue Northwest, east of Sarcee Trail, around 8 p.m. on Dec. 30, causing flooding that required police and firefighters to rescue 13 people from their vehicles. It also caused some temporary loss to the city’s water flow.
