Water conservation advisory ends for Regina, Moose Jaw
A voluntary water conservation request from the cities of Regina and Moose Jaw is no longer in effect. Residents had been asked to conserve water late last week and into the weekend due to an 'issue' at the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant (BPWTP) as work continues on a renewal project that is expected to be completed in 2026. The City of Regina says it now plans to resume standard services including street sweeping and the reopening of spray pads. 'The City will continue to monitor the upgrades at BPWTP and implement future measures, including the use of emergency water wells. While voluntary water restrictions are no longer needed, residents are encouraged to continue practicing water conservation habits,' a City of Regina news release said. In a similar release, the City of Moose Jaw said all of its affected operations including street sweeping will also resume on Monday.

Regina, Moose Jaw asking residents to conserve water due to issue at treatment plant
Social Sharing 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.

'Free for those who require consistent use of a seated mobility device,' the city said in a post to social media. Golfers wanting more information or wanting to use the carts can contact the city for more information, the post said.
