Boil water advisory continues for rural residents

Nov 26, 2010 | 10:57 AM

People in the rural areas south of Prince Albert will be boiling their drinking water throughout the weekend.

Test results so far have come back clean, but more testing is required before the advisory can be lifted, said the Prince Albert Rural Water Utility on Friday.

The advisory is affecting people from the Muskoday Reserve and west to MacDowell. The advisory also extends to those within townships 46 and 47, in ranges 26, 27 and 28, west of the second meridian — and township 46, range one, west of the third meridian.

The advisory was issued Monday when a contractor accidentally dug through a water line.
