UPDATE: Meadow Lake, Flying Dust F.N. water advisory to continue until further notice
Local residents will have to boil their drinking water for the time being.
As of this morning, the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency issued a precautionary drinking water advisory for all residents and businesses for the City of Meadow Lake and Flying Dust First Nation.
“This advisory will be in place until further notice,” the statement read. “While the advisory is on, residents are advised to boil all drinking water for at least one minute prior to use or use an alternate water source known to be safe.”
City manager Diana Burton said the precautionary advisory was put in place because of the lowered quality of water coming from Meadow River, the city’s main water source.
