It was January that a “do no use water’ advisory began for section of the Aspen Ridge neighbourhood in Saskatoon.
With the approval of the Water Security Agency and the Saskatchewan Health Authority, the advisory has been lifted for Bolstad, which includes Bolstad Link, Manor, Turn and Way.
Back in January, residents in this area were moved to a temporary above-ground system after potential hydrocarbon contamination was discovered in a few hydrants.
The extensive remediation included camera inspections in pipes, high pressure flushing, and scrubbing.
It still isn’t known what the contaminant was other than some sort of asphalt-type product.
The City is continuing to investigate.
Bolstad is being transitioned off the temporary system and onto the permanent one over the course of the next few weeks.
In May, there was a similar situation in the Rosewood area close to the south Costco.
The water advisory was lifted in late August.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
