A precautionary drinking water advisory has been issued for Prince Albert and surrounding areas.

It affects everyone who is serviced by the Prince Albert Rural Water Utility.

If you live in the area, you are advised to boil all water used for drinking purposes for at least one minute. The City of Prince Albert is also asking residents to reduce their water usage as much as possible to help the remaining supply last a little longer, until normal production rates can be restored.

There was a break in the water distribution line which crews are working to repair as quickly as possible.
