Water restrictions in Leader

By Joan Janzen

Fall is fast approaching and the water level at the South Saskatchewan River is noticeably lower than usual. Level 2 water restrictions are in place at Leader, with all outdoor watering prohibited with the exception of flower beds and vegetable gardens which may be watered by hand at any time, to help restrict water flow.

Bulk water sales are suspended, unless the water is being used for a residence or approval is granted by Leader’s Town Council. These efforts are required to ensure adequate water levels for fire suppression and continuing to provide essential water for Leader’s residents. A fine of $2,500.00 will be issued to those caught not following the restrictions.
