WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
In late June, Calgary, Alberta, attempted to make strides to rectify a catastrophic water main break, while collision centres in the area also tried to be mindful of water usage.
Mike Nichol, general manager of Simplicity Car Care Airdrie, told Collision Repair on June 10, that they were doing their part to follow the city’s orders by keeping a watchful eye on their water usage.
“We are being asked to reduce water consumption wherever possible,” added Nichol. Franco Borrelli, owner of Simplicity Car Care Calgary Central Hallmark Auto Body, said his facility was also answering the calls to conserve water. “We’ve mostly been affected by having to shorten our wash times in the detail department,” said Borrelli. Repairs to the broken main were estimated to take at least a week, and the City of Calgary cautioned residents to continue conservation measures until the main was fixed.
Simplicity Car Care Airdrie was located approximately 40 kilometres from the break, which is around the Bowness and Montgomery area, along 16th Ave. NW. Residents of Airdrie, Chestermere and Strathmore–locales around Calgary–were also being asked to watch their water usage.
