I bet we'll never know, but I wonder if the emergency alert went out because at this point, half a day later, the waterworks team couldn't get it fixed so to get it done ASAP they reckoned they'd hit the proverbial nuclear button and shut distribution from Bearspaw off entirely. Gnarly, if so.

Do they do inspections on this big pipe? I only know pressure pipe, are small leaks just common? You probably can’t pressure test these lines, do they have inspection pigs of some sort? Just curious. Cameras? But you have to shut down for inspections.
