Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. the ban on watering lawns in North Battleford was lifted.
In a news release, they City stated, “The City of North Battleford would like to again thank residents for their water conservation efforts this week. Through your efforts the need to issue a city-wide Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory (PWDA) was averted and we are further pleased to advise that the ban on watering lawns is now lifted.”
However, the City is urging residents to closely observe the even-odd lawn watering schedule. During flushing of the repaired 18-inch transmission line, a major pump failure occurred that reduced the output capacity at the F.E. Holliday Water Plant, states the release.
“It is estimated that the plants can maintain fire flow levels, but once again your assistance is required. The City will not be watering parks or sports fields until next week to ensure that there is enough water for homeowners.”
The release concluded, “The City appreciates your continued co-operation to ensure water supply continues to be held at a moderate levels.”
