Water Restrictions Lifted
Update:
Effective immediately–all water restrictions are now lifted. All operations are back to normal and our water reserves have been restored. Thank you to everyone for your cooperation during this time.
Original post below:
We are not on a Boil Water Advisory, our water is treated, tested, and safe to drink. We are building up our water reserves.
The Town of Kindersley will be implementing water restrictions effective immediately due to recent water repair on our source line and high usage occurring due to summer heat. This will assist us in building our water reserves to the appropriate level at a more efficient timeframe with good quality water.
In order to fill up our water reserves in town and ensure we stay above our fire protection level in town we will be implementing water restrictions.
This will ensure our water quality continues to improve. We expect this to last for a short time and will keep everyone posted.
