The Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant has notified both cities of a “short-term reduction in the supply of water to its customers—due to an issue with the plant” The issue is expected to be resolved by the end of the weekend.

Regina and Moose Jaw businesses and residents are encouraged to lower water consumption through a variety of methods including:

• Turning off taps as much as possible during personal grooming activities
• Showering instead of bathing, if possible
• Running washing machines and dishwashers only when full
• Refraining from watering grass or landscaping as much as possible
• Avoiding the filling of hot tubs, pools and ponds
• Delaying vehicle washing until the conservation request is lifted
