SASKATOON –A Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory (PWSA) still remains for some parts of Saskatoon west of river.
The PWDA was issued after a break in a primary water main north of 42nd Street. The break was fixed on Friday night.
During any repair on the water supply system there is a low risk of contamination.
As a precaution, the city issued a PDWA while waiting for bacteriological tests to come back negative for any contamination in the water supply system.
