Water Security Agency keeping close eye on North Saskatchewan River
Water sampling continues following an oil spill on the North Saskatchewan River last July.
Patrick Boyle from the Water Security Agency said recent tests monitoring the water quality have come up clean.
“We just posted results from the latest round we did and we haven’t seen any exceedances of the Canadian drinking water guidelines,” he said.
Regardless, Boyle said the agency will do its due dilligence and watch water quality, particularly during the spring thaw when the ice breaks up and the water starts to flow again.
