In another blow to Calgary’s already struggling water infrastructure, the City of Calgary has announced the detection of two more wire snaps on the Bearspaw south feeder main pipe. This critical issue exacerbates the city’s ongoing water crisis, casting further doubt on Mayor Jyoti Gondek’s ability to manage the situation effectively.
Unresolved Water Crisis
The revelation of additional wire snaps highlights the fragility and deteriorating state of Calgary’s water supply system. Despite previous assurances and target dates set by Mayor Gondek, the water crisis shows no signs of abating. Iyan Velji, a prominent critic of Gondek, has been vocal on social media, underscoring the urgency and gravity of the situation.
Velji tweeted, “The City of Calgary announces 2 more wire snaps have been detected on the Bearspaw south feeder main pipe. Calgary’s water crisis is not over.” This statement resonates with many Calgarians who are increasingly frustrated with the lack of effective leadership and resolution.
Public Outrage and Satirical Responses
The public’s frustration is palpable, with many turning to social media to express their dissatisfaction. One user, @LLB24693515, sarcastically suggested, “Excellent idea, fill up water guns to water the garden,” mocking the city’s inadequate response to the crisis.
Other critics, like @rahuljeff24, question the validity of Calgary’s reputation amid such infrastructure failures: “What Makes Calgary the ‘World’s Most Livable City’ without the damn water.” This sentiment underscores a growing disillusionment with the city’s current administration.

Velji’s Persistent Critique
Iyan Velji continues to be a leading voice in the movement calling for accountability from Mayor Gondek. His recent tweets highlight the mayor’s broken promises and mismanagement. For instance, Velji pointed out, “What happened to your July 5th target date to restore water to Calgary GONDEK?” and reminded followers of previous unfulfilled commitments, “Is anyone else old enough to remember when woke Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said water would be restored in the city by July 1st (Canada Day)?”
These pointed critiques reflect the broader sentiment among many Calgarians who feel let down by their leadership during a time of crisis.
The Need for Change
The continued failures and mounting public dissatisfaction signal a critical need for change in Calgary’s leadership. Many, like @Arlene1971, believe that the city can return to its former glory but acknowledge that it will require concerted efforts and key electoral victories: “I believe Calgarians can bring the city back to its glory. It will take time and winning some key elections in order to do so. More people need to get involved and spread the word.”
As the next election approaches, the pressure on Mayor Gondek’s administration will only intensify. Calgarians are increasingly looking for leaders who can effectively address their concerns and restore confidence in the city’s future.
