A dramatic  temperature swing in Calgary over the  past 24 hours has left some communities with water  problems.
At 8 a.m. on Monday, Environment Canada  recorded a temperature of  -20°C at Calgary International Airport. By  the same time  on Tuesday, the temperature had  dropped to  -1°C. Freezing temperatures were also  recorded overnight.
Several communities  across the city are  currently experiencing water  outages, and crews  are on scene working to restore service as  quickly as  possible.
Outages have been reported in Abbeydale, Deer Run, University Heights, Skyline West, Banff Trail,  Haysboro and Coral Springs, according to the  city.
As of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, more than 200 homes and six businesses were without water due to  the holiday.
Trucks have been deployed to some of the  affected areas, the  city said. Under normal circumstances, the city says water main breaks are repaired and water service  restored within 24 hours.
