It sounds like 3 of the hot spots they had replacement parts and the two pieces that arrived today are for the remaining two hot spots. Considering the major pieces are here already, it is just he prep work on those pipes to get them ready to put in the ground. No idea how long that will take, but suddenly July 5th doesn't seem like such a stretch if everything is here. |
A week to repair and a week to flood and test doesn’t sound unreasonable.

Earls was probably selling Dasani which is likely being bottled in Calgary anyway because I'm sure Coca Cola's lawyers have some amazing clause in their water deal with the city that lets them pump full bore with impunity.

Whenever I think the Dasani I always envision a bunch of miserable bedraggled orphans sitting next to residential garden hoses filling up Dasani bottles and then putting them in packages being shipped to stores.

Is the whole line going to need to be replaced at some point in the near future? Or can they do that somehow with no disruptions. I'll hang up and listen, thanks.

Can confirm Dasani is being bottled with calgary's drinking water.
They somehow take our water and turn it into undrinkable sewer water and label it as Dasani.

I was at an event at the Round Up Center over the weekend. No pitchers of water were on the table, nor was a free glass of water available at the cash bar.
They would however, sell you a bottle of Dasani bottled municipal water for $4.50.....

See, I thought there was some sort of legal regulation that free water had to be offered anywhere that serves alcohol.

Is there any car wash in the city that's open using recycled water? I swear I'm not a bad person I just want to give it a 30 second spray...

A few years ago I was at an event where they actually shut off the water fountains in the building.
"Buy our water or die."
It was like something out of Mad Max or Waterworld.

Paying your home water bill entitles you to a 100% discount on any water from a Calgary water plant, including any Dasani bottled here.

Do I have to bring my own glass? Is it self serve? Do I have to tip?

I've always preferred Dasani, probably because it tastes like the water I'm used to. Now when I drink tap water I can tell myself I'm getting unlimited, expensive Dasani water for virtually nothing! And I shower in it and even flush my sh*t down the toilet with it!

My car is in for service today and usually they will give her a quick wash before I get it back. Not today. They've closed their car wash and detailing for now.
