City Confirms Water Discolouration is Temporary and Supply Remains Safe

Over the last several days, the City has been experiencing issues relating to the discoloration of the water supply. As a matter of information, the City would like to assure residents that this is considered normal and that the supply of City water remains safe for consumption.

Recent river conditions have resulted in higher levels of naturally occurring organic matter entering the water treatment process. These conditions are common in prairie river systems following periods of runoff and elevated flows and can influence the appearance of treated water from time to time.

The City’s Water Treatment Plant continues to successfully treat and disinfect the water supply, ensuring residents receive safe, high-quality drinking water. While residents may occasionally notice slight natural variation in the appearance of their water, this does not affect the safety, quality, or suitability of the water for consumption.

Protecting public health remains the highest priority of the Water Treatment Plant. Operations staff continuously monitor both source water and treated water quality and make proactive adjustments to treatment processes as river conditions change. Water quality is tested extensively by certified operators and independently verified through accredited third-party laboratories.

All testing confirms that Prince Albert’s drinking water remains safe and continues to meet—and exceed—applicable provincial drinking water quality standards established by the Water Security Agency.

The City remains committed to providing residents with a reliable supply of safe, clean, and high-quality drinking water and will continue to closely monitor river conditions throughout the summer.
