More than two weeks of uncertainty for where Muskoday will get safe water have ended, as it lifts a state of emergency.
The Prince Albert-area First Nation typically receives water from the North Saskatchewan River that’s treated in the city.
But after the oil spill in late July, that water source was put into jeopardy and Muskoday declared a state of emergency.
It was having water shipped in until Prince Albert found alternatives with pipelines of safe water coming in to the water treatment plant. Even once that was working the city took a few extra days before it supplied water to rural customers like Muskoday.
On Wednesday Muskoday says the water crisis has become manageable.
