Prince Albert, North Battleford and Melfort turned to alternate water supplies following the July 2016 Husky Energy oil spill.

The oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River in July 2016 forced the cities of North Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort to shut off their water intakes for almost two months.

Once retrieved, the connector will be inspected for insight into the November incident that saw 250,000 litres of oil leaked into the ocean.

The company behind the 2016 oil spill that fouled the North Saskatchewan River and threatened the water supply of Prince Albert wants to build new pipelines to replace the structure that leaked.

Court proceedings against Husky Energy for a 2016 Saskatchewan oil spill have been adjourned for three months.

Husky Energy is facing one charge under the Environment Management and Protection Act, as well as several other charges under federal legislation.

Husky Energy has been given the OK from the Saskatchewan government to restart a pipeline involved in a major oil spill.

Sediment and vegetation are still being removed from the North Saskatchewan River, but there are no signs of oil in the water.

Environment groups are waiting for charges to be laid against Husky Oil one year after a major oil spill on the North Saskatchewan River.

Alberta's Energy Regulator says Husky Energy of Calgary reported a crude oil spill at Cox Hill Creek on Thursday around 3 p.m.
