The water quality in Shaunavon has been identified as of high importance by property owners and by the Town of Shaunavon.

That is why the Town will be conducting a Fire Hydrant Replacement Program as part of the town's Water Quality Improvement Strategy.

Work has been completed  on Blocks 4,5, and 6 on first avenue east located on the south side of the alley.

Other areas of the community will be done in sections beginning July 4.

A notice will be included in the quarterly utility bills, outlining the affected users whose water services will be interrupted intermittently for up to 3 or 4 hours at a time while replacement is under way in their area. 

This means a precautionary drinking water advisory will be issued in those areas, and remain in place until test results confirm the water is safe for human consumption.

SECTION 2 - TO BEGIN MONDAY JULY 4 (highlighted in orange on the map below.)

-Second Avenue West - Second Street West to Fourth Street West

-Fourth Street West - First Avenue West to Third Avenue West

-Fifth Street West - First Avenue West to Third Avenue West

-Third Avenue West - Fourth Street West to Seventh Street West

-Fourth Avenue West - Fifth Street West to Seventh Street West

-Fifth Street West - Third Avenue West to Fifth Avenue West

-Seventh Street West - Third Avenue West to Fifth Avenue West.

 

Two items of special note: There will be no hydrant servicing from July 10 to 17.

Starting July 18 a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory will be in place for the entire community, and it will remain in place until the project is complete, approximately four weeks. Affected properties will receive a notice in their quarterly utility bill outlining the advisory and users will be notified when the advisory is lifted.
