Buffalo Pound Water Treatment plant fixed, some boil-water advisories remain
The Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant is back up and running, but some people who get their water from the plant may have to continue boiling their water.
A downed power pole triggered the shutdown on Tuesday at 2 p.m. Crews were on site Wednesday and got the plant up and running by mid-afternoon.
The City of Regina dipped into its reservoirs and wells during the shutdown. The supply for the city is still pressurized so there is no need for people in the Queen City to boil their water. Residents may, however, notice a difference in water clarity over the next few days.
Pat Wilson, with the city’s water works, said this was a good time of year for this to happen.
