JOINT NEWS RELEASE: Exploring New Opportunities to Strengthen Water Security
This is the first press release to start the information process and to let you know that both Councils and Administrations have been working hard on this initiative. There will be more information coming out and dates to remember as we move forward this spring so stay tuned to the Wetaskiwin page. We have chosen this page to keep all information in the same place for easy location and so that you know that the information on that page is correct, real, and vetted by the Councils.
Water was returned to affected residences and businesses at 9:00pm last night after diligent work from our crews. The main break has been fixed but there are still barricades up as crews continue to analyze.
