Water restrictions extended for some east-side residents

Water restrictions for some east-side residents are being extended until June 1, 2026. This is due to weather-related construction delays for the Acadia Drive primary water main project, which began on March 23, 2026. Water service will remain safe to consume and reliable throughout the work.

Based on past project modelling and fall 2025 testing, pressure may drop by up to 20 psi (about 40%) in Brevoort Park, College Park, Wildwood, Lakeview, Rosewood, Lakewood Suburban Centre, Lakewood, Briarwood, Greystone Heights, Eastview, and College Park East.

Water pressure is not expected to drop below 40 pounds per square inch, which is still suitable for everyday household use like showering, running appliances and washing dishes. To help keep neighbourhood water pressure as steady as possible during construction, residents in impacted areas are asked to limit outdoor water use by avoiding activities such as lawn watering or using sprinkler systems.

Frequently asked questions:

• Will I still have water? Yes. Saskatoon Water customers will continue to have safe, high-quality drinking water.

• Do I need to boil my water? No. Drinking water quality will not be affected. If a boil water advisory is ever required, the City will notify residents.

• What if I lose water? Outages are not expected. If you experience one, call the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476.

This project is needed to deliver long-term water quality and reliability. The City thanks residents for their patience and cooperation during this important work. For more information on the project, please visit saskatoon.ca/AcadiaPWM.
