Water restrictions extended for some east-side residents
April 30, 2026 - 4:00pm
- 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.
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:
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.

The sweep is on. Sweeping crews are coming to a street near you.
April 30, 2026 - 9:00am
The City of Saskatoon will begin residential street sweeping on Monday, May 4, 2026, as crews move into neighbourhoods following early-season work on major routes.
The sweep is on. Operations will progress across the city in phases. Residents can find their sweep date and updates at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
Temporary yellow “No Parking” signs will be installed at least 36 hours before sweeping. Residents are required to move vehicles by 7 a.m. on the posted day to allow crews full access to the curb. Vehicles left in areas with parking restrictions will be ticketed and relocated.
Street sweeping is weather-dependent. Crews are unable to operate effectively in wet conditions, as rain causes debris to stick to the road surface and limits the ability of sweepers to collect material. This can result in incomplete cleaning and may require return visits. If rain impacts operations, schedule adjustments will be communicated.
Traffic Bridge will be closed between Spadina Crescent and 11th Street starting Friday evening
April 30, 2026 - 6:00am
Traffic Bridge will be closed between Spadina Crescent and 11th Street starting Friday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m. for bridge cleaning. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the area. This project is expected to take one night to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
