Mandatory water restrictions lifted – Normal water use may resume

The City of Saskatoon confirms that the mandatory water restriction issued earlier today has ended as of 10 p.m. and normal water use may resume at this time. 

The issue involving the sand-clogged intake at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) has been resolved and the back-up water intake is in use. Water quality was not impacted during this restriction and the water remains safe to use. 

WTP staff will continue to monitor the situation and provide any updates as they become available. 

The City thanks everyone for their compliance and patience as we worked to address this issue. 

Please have a safe and happy holiday.
