Weyburn Red Wings relocate to Assiniboia due to second ammonia leak
8h ago
The Red Wings will host the Kindersley Klippers in Assiniboia on Friday.
People in the town of Eastend are being encouraged to drink lots of water right now, but it can’t be straight from the tap because they’re under a precautionary drinking water advisory at the same time as a heat warning.
Eastend is also under a heat warning covering the southwest corner of the province early this week due to temperatures above 32 C.
On Monday morning, a precautionary drinking water advisory was issued for the town because of the turbidity of water found in a filter at the water treatment facility.
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water caused by particles. A federal government website explains this can impact the effectiveness of the treatment of the water.
People in the town are being warned to boil tap water for at least a minute before drinking it, cooking with it, cleaning dishes or brushing their teeth.
The heat warning for the southwest is supposed to last until Wednesday afternoon.
