Creighton Mayor Bruce Fidler said he has not heard any more recent complaints about the town’s water supply. Except one, that is – his own.
“It’s clean – except for my house today,” he said at the Feb. 14 Creighton Town Council meeting. Fidler explained that the water line his home is located on was reported to have had some water quality issues last week.
“The water got rattled up on one of the loops today. There was discoloured water today but it cleared up rather quickly,” he said.
Aside from that, Fidler said he had not heard any more complaints recently.
“Anyone that I talk to around Creighton says there’s nothing wrong with their water. We’re supplying safe drinking water as we are responsible for,” he said.
Reports of discoloured, foul-smelling and foul-tasting tap water have been heard from some areas of Creighton over the past two months after a major water and sewer line project started last summer.
Two boil water advisories were called in late 2017, due to a switch to temporary water lines. Fidler and town administrator Paula Muench each said the advisories were both precautionary and that the town’s water supply had not failed tests with provincial water quality authorities.
“That’s the work that was going on from the water line replacement project,” said Fidler.
