Alberta’s government has released an independent inspection report into the City of Calgary’s management of the Bearspaw South Feeder Main, and its findings raise serious questions. In 2016, while Naheed Nenshi was mayor, he and his chief of staff received a draft-final independent report identifying serious problems with Calgary’s water utility. Nenshi didn’t share the report with city council, which could have spared Calgarians from the chaos of repeated water main breaks and a substantial increase in their water rates. Nearly a decade later, Calgarians are paying the price: repeated water main breaks, water rates up more than 78%, and $1.1 billion in utility revenues directed into general city revenues. Naheed Nenshi needs to explain what he knew, when he knew it, and what actions he took. Calgarians deserve answers.
