Siksika Nation Drinking Water Distribution Mainline Break Emergency – Update 3
Siksika Public Works is actively addressing a critical issue affecting the Siksika Pump House. Water levels at the Siksika Pump House are approaching critical levels due to a rupture in the drinking water distribution mainline.
Current Situation:
Associated Engineering, SFE Global, and Siksika Public Works Community Water and Wastewater personnel are on-site today, working diligently to locate the leak and assess its impact. They are implementing the necessary measures to correct the issue.
In the meantime, Big Sky Water and Vac Services Inc. and Bob Miller Trucking continue to feed water to the Siksika Pump House to help maintain adequate levels and ensure minimal consumption across the Nation.
We now invite all Siksika residents to show support restricting water use to the minimum, until the mainline repair is completed.
