Description: Alberta Emergency Alert - Water Supply Alert

There has been an event that has impacted the town of Edson's water supply. A structural problem at one of the reservoirs has impacted the storage capabilities. Residents are being asked to conserve water at this time to allow levels to replenish and ensure adequate supply for emergencies. There is no risk to the public, this is an information update only.

While the well system produces ample water supply to handle domestic use, higher levels are required in the reservoir to handle potential fire emergencies. There is no immediate risk to the public, however, conservation is being requested to help fill the remaining usable reservoir to adequate levels. The truck water fill station has been closed temporarily while the situation is resolved.
