Regina, Moose Jaw asking residents to conserve water due to issue at treatment plant
Regina and Moose Jaw are asking all residents to voluntarily restrict their water usage, as a disruption at the facility feeding both cities has reduced water supplies.
The Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation says it has, "identified an issue with the plant that is currently addressing."
The unspecified issue is the result of upgrades being carried out at the facility.
"This is an unexpected situation," said Kurtis Doney, the City of Regina's deputy city manager of city operations.
Doney stressed the conservation request is necessary and must be followed as quickly as possible.
"It's really important that we conserve water voluntarily because if we don't, we will need to move to mandatory water restrictions," Doney said.
Emergency wells now active
Doney said the Regina's emergency water wells are now active, but they can only provide the city with 25 to 30 per cent of the water it requires.
The reliance on well water means some residents may notice water discoloration, Doney said.
Regina and Moose Jaw have issued a list of recommendations to help conserve water. They include:
Not watering lawns.
Delay filling hot tubs, pools and ponds.
Avoid washing vehicles except when required for health and safety.
Turns off taps as much as possible during showering.
Showering instead of bathing.
Running dishwashers and washing machines only when full.
Regina said it will be doing its part by not continuing to fill outdoor pools, turning off spray pads, discontinuing street sweeping and not watering parks with city water.

Doctor charged with sexually assaulting patient at Amherst ER
A former Nova Scotia physician who now practises in New Brunswick has been charged with sexual assault after allegedly assaulting a patient during an emergency room assessment in Amherst in January. In a release Thursday, Nova Scotia RCMP said Dr. Sanjeev Sirpal has been charged with sexual assault in relation to the alleged incident at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre. The release said RCMP believe there may be more victims and are encouraging any survivors to come forward to police. Police say Sirpal was arrested on Aug. 14 and has since been released on conditions ahead of his first appearance in Amherst provincial court on Nov. 15. Sirpal has been previously employed in Quebec and is now in New Brunswick, the RCMP said. According to the registry for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick, Sirpal has been registered to practise in the province since March 14. He specializes in family medicine. His registration comes with two conditions: He can only conduct "intimate examinations" of a patient's sexual organs or breasts, regardless of gender, with a chaperon present. He must explain to the patient, with the chaperon present, why he is conducting the examination and include documentation of what was discussed and the identity of the chaperon in his chart. According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia, Sirpan was removed from its registry in March at his request. He is no longer licensed to practise medicine in Nova Scotia.
