ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

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. With insurers keeping a close eye on risk-prevention measures it can make your job easier, prevent insurance claims, and help keep your premiums down.

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.
