Oh look, their is! What a crazy thing to be true. So already we have lower demand in the winter. And what, people can't have shorter showers then? I'm not sure what you are even getting at with this point, other than you never learned how to find answers yourself before looking silly making assumptions on the internet.
And I've learned almost everything I know about water systems since this incident started. I don't know a lot, but when I think up question I tend to see what the facts are before assuming they are unsolvable problems. |
Facts are weather, cold weather, location of the pipe and more all increase the length of time for the repair as per the City of Calgary since your all about facts and solving problems. I can't believe I am actually arguing with someone from Canada about what happens to water outdoors when it's exploding from the ground everywhere and it's -25 out. A hockey fan no less! LOL. This conversation is beneath me at this point and I am out.

" The time it takes to fix a break varies due to several factors including the size of the break, digging in frozen ground, how quickly the break can be located, and the current weather conditions."
"How does temperature impact water mains?
The longer the temperature stays below freezing, the deeper the frost goes, putting pressure on water main and service pipes. Winter frost depths in Calgary typically range from two to three metres. Frozen ground increases the amount of time required to access the water pipes, resulting in a longer time frame to restore water. Pipes are buried around three to four metres deep."
