🚰 Water Restriction Now in Effect

A leak has been detected in the main water line that supplies our City, and Fort Saskatchewan is asking residents to reduce their water usage while repairs are underway. The work may take several days to complete. This is not an emergency, but a precautionary measure to help conserve water for essential needs and fire protection until repairs are complete.

💧 What you should do:
• Keep showers short and turn off taps while brushing teeth or shaving
• Run only full loads of laundry or dishes, or postpone if possible
• Wait to fill hot tubs, pools, or aquariums
• Delay collecting non-essential water from truck fills

The City has reduced its own water use and is closely monitoring supply levels. The water remains safe to drink and there are no concerns about water quality.
