Water pressure restored for east-side neighbourhoods following reservoir and water main commissioning
May 29, 2026 - 3:52pm
Water pressure has been fully restored for east-side neighbourhoods, as commissioning of the Acadia Drive reservoir and primary water main has been completed.
Voluntary water restrictions have now been lifted, and residents can now resume typical outdoor water use. The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding during this important infrastructure project. By limiting unnecessary water use, residents helped crews complete the work sooner than expected.
Acadia Drive between Taylor Street E and Avondale Road remains closed until mid-June to allow for remaining work and repaving.

City crews begin nighttime crosswalk painting blitz
May 29, 2026 - 9:00am
Crosswalks on high-traffic Saskatoon streets will be repainted over the next two weeks. Crews will be working at night between 8 pm and 6 am to avoid peak traffic times and minimize disruption.
Crews will be painting crosswalks Sunday to Wednesday nights starting May 31, 2026. The work is expected to be completed by June 10, 2026.
Please use caution and take care when you encounter painting crews on the road. They’re not blocking your path – they’re making a safer one. Let’s do our part to keep them safe, too, and respect work zones.
