Break-in results in drinking water advisory
A drinking water advisory has been issued by the Prince Albert Rural Water Utility, following a break-in Wednesday morning at one its pumping stations.
The advisory applies to an area north of Township Road to Spruce Home.
There are fears that the water may have been contaminated.
“While we didn’t see that there was any threat of contamination, it didn’t appear any tanks had been opened or anything like that, I guess out of abundance of caution they (Water Security Agency) figured it was prudent to issue a drinking water advisory,” said Ken Danger, manager of Prince Albert Rural Water Utility.
