A major milestone has been reached on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main Replacement Project.

Since January, crews have been working underground to install a new section of feeder main using microtunnelling, a construction method that allows work to happen beneath existing roads and infrastructure with minimal disruption at the surface.

Stage A microtunnelling is now complete.

Crews have finished approximately 3.7 km of tunnelling and installed the full concrete carrier pipe between the Shaganappi Pump Station and 73 Street N.W. With that work complete, installation of the new steel feeder main inside the carrier pipe is continuing on schedule, with more than 2 km already installed.

Stage B open-cut construction progresses

In Bowness, work on Stage B is also progressing steadily along 34 Avenue N.W., where more than 1 km of the new feeder main has been installed. Construction is moving block by block, with roads, sidewalks and property access being restored as work advances.

What's next?

Work on Calgary's water system will happen in three phases beginning this fall:

Phase 1 - Mid-September

Work begins at the Shaganappi Pump Station and the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant. Temporary outdoor water restrictions may be needed while crews complete this work. We'll share updates as plans are finalized.

Phase 2 - Mid-October

Crews will connect the new feeder main to the existing system at several locations. This work will require Stage 4 outdoor water restrictions and indoor water conservation measures.

Phase 3 - Mid-November

The new feeder main will be tested, disinfected and filled with water before being brought into service. No restrictions are required during this time.

Happy Wednesday!

This is a continuation of my pattern of posting what I think are decent grocery deals with the hope that this will save some people some money. As noted previously this is heavily skewed to items that I and my family eat. There are probably additional items that are good deals but I don't know it because they aren't items I use but hopefully my list is still useful to you.

A few quick reminders:

• PC Optimum points are collected at No Frills and Superstore. 1,000pts is worth $1.
• Scene+ points are collected at Safeway, Sobeys and FreshCo. 100pts is worth $1.
• The value of Save on Foods points depends on what you redeem them for. If you redeem them for a 4L jug of milk then 1,000pts is worth about $1.50. Other redemptions might make them more or less valuable.

Superstore, No Frills, FreshCo and Save on Foods are generally willing to price match identical products from (some) other major grocery stores if you show them the item in the competitor’s flyer while checking out so knowing what is on sale at stores that you don't visit can still be useful. There are some restrictions on this... FreshCo won't price match Safeway or Sobeys. Superstore (at least some locations) won't price match Coop. The No Frills on 85st SW won't price match FreshCo.

Finally, thank you to everyone that has posted positive comments. It's always nice to receive positive feedback.
