Early test results show water safe to drink
There are some fresh answers today regarding the impact of the Husky Oil spill.
The Water Security Agency (WSA) has released the first results of its ongoing water quality testing on the North Saskatchewan River and Saskatchewan River systems.
The results show no exceedances of the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines or the provincial drinking water standards.
However, exceedances were found relative to the Canadian Protection of Aquatic Life Guidelines. One sample had an exceedance of the toluene hydrocarbon, and one sample had an exceedance of the pyrene chemical.
