The entire topic may be mysterious to some: not a lot of cities are yet taking the in-between option of "rehabilitation".
Rehabiliation includes a number of options. Unlike Toronto, Calgary hasn't tried lining yet, and we found only limited cases for short replacements. But we had huge success with cathodic protection.
