Calgary marked the one-year anniversary of the rupture of the Bearspaw south feeder main.

The 11-kilometre main ruptured on June 5, 2014 , plunging city into months -long water crisis.

Officials say the city is taking steps to ensure a similar disaster won’t happen again.

Two Calgary city councillors call for a serious commitment to modernizing Calgary ’s aging water infrastructure.

Councillors Sonya Sharp and Terry Wong hold a joint news conference in front of the Montgomery Safeway , steps from where the feeder main burst last June .

Sharp: “We’re talking about a precious commodity in our city,” she said.
