East-side residents asked to avoid outdoor water use until after June 1
May 27, 2026 - 12:00pm
- 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.
East-side residents in impacted areas are strongly urged to avoid outdoor water use, including lawn watering and sprinkler systems, until water restrictions lift on June 1, 2026. Restrictions are in place due to the Acadia Drive primary water main project, which began on March 23, 2026.
Water service remains safe to consume and reliable throughout the work. Limiting outdoor water use is essential to help keep neighbourhood water pressure as steady as possible during construction.
Frequently asked questions:
This project is needed to deliver long-term water quality and reliability. The City thanks residents for their continued patience and cooperation during this important work. For more information on the project, please visit saskatoon.ca/AcadiaPWM.
