The City of Calgary is on a mission to replace the Bearspaw South Feeder Main, which we count on to deliver a significant amount of our water. General Manager of Infrastructure Services, Michael Thompson, talks about the construction progress on the feeder main replacement project and ongoing work to reinforce the current pipe and explains what Calgarians can expect in the year ahead.  This conversation was recorded on March 4, 2026.
