EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - PARTIAL FIRE BAN

The R.M. of Wilton has issued a Partial Fire Ban as of April 28.  This ban will remain in effect until conditions improve.  At this time recreational fires are still permitted.  Please refer to the Town of Marshall’s Open Fire and Fireworks Bylaw 03-2019 for specific guidelines on acceptable firepits and regulations regarding fires within town limits.  A copy of this bylaw can be found on the town website www.townofmarshall.ca, or it can be obtained at the town office.

Remember that a small spark can cause a catastrophic fire in these dry conditions.  Keep the fire small and always use a grate.  DO NOT have a fire if it is extremely windy.  Make sure to supervise your fire at all times.  If you see smoke that you know is not from a firepit, please call 911 immediately!

Keep informed of the current conditions regarding fires as bans may change at a moments notice.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your firepit, the bylaw or fire bans please call the office.  Check our news section on the website for more information

ARE YOU PREPARED INCASE OF A WINTER STORM?

Winter is a fact of life in Saskatchewan. Yet somehow, it manages to surprise us nearly every year. Weathering a storm starts with keeping an eye on the forecast, but even the most experienced Saskatchewan sky watchers can forget some details when preparing for snow, wind, or sleet. Make sure you've ticked all the boxes to get ready for winter with this winter storm event checklist. 

SASKWATER PRAIRIE NORTH PIPELINE UPDATE

As part of the commissioning process the pipeline connecting the City of Lloydminster source potable water to the Town of Marshall was turned on and the existing wells were turned off. The system is operating normally and sampling is acceptable within the permit to operate. As expected, some reaction is occurring for a slight aesthetic color variation as the water blends in the reservoir and this may continue for a couple of weeks as the water works itself through the distribution system.

The water is safe to drink and over time this will diminish as the source water becomes solely from the Prairie North Potable Water Supply System.

If you have any further questions or concerns please visit or call the Town of Marshall office at 306-387-6340.
