Sudden water shutoff leaves family in a lurch
With no warning, a rural Prince Albert family was stuck with very little water and serious concerns about how long their supplies would last.
Sarah Anderson’s family only had a 100 gallon tank to provide water to two adults and her two children — a seven-year-old and a four-year-old. Since water to the R.M. was very suddenly shut off with no warning, she said they didn’t get a chance to stock up.
“The well water is totally undrinkable but it’s enough to get to flush our toilets if I haul it in by bucket. So far we haven’t even had a really good shower or bath or anything yet,” she said
There’s been numerous roadblocks on Anderson’s way to more water. Cost is one of the biggest factors.
