As of Monday, the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory (PWDA) was still in effect for the city of North Battleford.
A release issued by the City of North Battleford Monday said the test for water borne parasites was returned on Friday, Aug. 14 and the F.E. Holliday Water Treatment Plant is operating as engineered. There were no water-borne parasites in the treated water as the plant had removed all parasites found in the raw water.
The results were forwarded to the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWSA) on Friday night and City technologists completed the testing of the treated water in accordance with SWSA protocol on Saturday, Aug. 15 and Sunday, Aug. 16, with the final tests hand delivered to the laboratory in Saskatoon.
Results are expected Tuesday, Aug. 18 and once SWSA has an opportunity to review the results, the City will be notified if the PDWA is to be lifted.
