Water line between the Battlefords still on schedule
The water line connecting North Battleford and Battleford is still on schedule to be operational by the end of the weekend.
Over the course of Thursday, Aug. 4 and Friday, Aug. 5, the water line between the city and the town was successfully disinfected.
It was stated earlier in the week, the line could be operational by Sunday, Aug. 7 or Monday, Aug. 8. Patrick Boyle, a spokesperson with the Water Security Agency, said on Friday, Aug. 5 it is still the case.
“It’s a matter of getting those samples in to the lab and getting them back and then going through that process,” he said. “I would say with confidence probably over the weekend hopefully before Monday, but in the next two to three days we should have that line feeding into the city of North Battleford.”
