The boil water advisory in the southwest communities of Spruce Cliff, Wildwood and Rosscarrock has been lifted.

The advisory was called on Friday when a local water main broke. It was not related to the Bearspaw South Feeder Main.

In a statement, the city said, "The City of Calgary labs, in collaboration with Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas, have tested and confirmed that the water in these communities meets water-quality guidelines and standards and is safe for consuming."

The city advises anyone who has used their household or business water in the past 24 hours, it can now be safely consumed without boiling.

"If you have not used your household or business water in the past 24 hours, you should flush your system," adds the city's statement.

To flush your household or business water system: turn the bathtub tap on cold for ten minutes. Then turn all other faucets on cold for five minutes.

For businesses without a bathtub or shower, turn on all your faucets on cold for ten minutes.

The City of Calgary thanks affected residents and businesses for their patience and cooperation during this time and recognizes the ongoing effort by all Calgarians to save water while reinforcement work continues on the Bearspaw South Feeder Main.
