Farkas Proposes Enmax Takeover for Calgary Water System

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas proposes using Enmax, the city-owned utility, to manage the troubled water system, following a major water main failure. This idea aligns with a review panels suggestion to avoid creating a new company, potentially saving money for ratepayers. Enmax, which already collects water and sewage fees, has expressed interest in the role, but councillors are divided. Farkas also suggests selling Enmaxs Versant Power utility in Maine to fund repairs, though Enmax has expressed reluctance. The debate continues as the mayor is still in early talks.
