With these two goals in mind, this project will benefit all users of Shaunavon’s water distribution system.

Note: The Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory remains in effect for the Town of Shaunavon until the project is complete and tests deem the water safe for human consumption.
If residents and businesses have any questions regarding the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory, please contact the Saskatchewan Health Authority at (306) 778-5280.
