Public Notice β Town of Leader
The Town of Leader has been notified of a fuel spill into the South Saskatchewan River near Medicine Hat. Based on current information, the affected water is expected to reach our water intake on Sunday.
At this time, the Town reservoir is full, and we will not need to draw water from the river until the contamination has safely passed our intake.
We are continuing to work closely with the Water Security Agency to monitor the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
The safety of our water supply remains our top priority, and we appreciate the communityβs understanding.
