MOOSE JAW, SK – The City of Moose Jaw is requesting all residents participate in a voluntary water conservation effective immediately.

The City of Moose Jaw has been advised by the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant (BPWTP) of a power outage that has caused a reduction in the supply of water to its customers.

Officials are working on resolving the issue, but in the interim, Moose Jaw residents are asked to conserve water by:

• Turning off taps as much as possible during personal grooming activities.

• Showering instead of bathing, if possible

• Running the washing machine and dishwasher only when full.

• Refrain from watering grass/landscaping as much as possible.

• Eliminating the filling of hot tubs, pools, and ponds.

• Delaying washing vehicles until the conservation request has been lifted.

The City will also refrain from unnecessary water usage and use only what is required for health and safety.

All city spray parks will now be turned off for the remainder of 2025.

We thank you for your cooperation and will provide updates as soon as they become available.
