  • Do Not Consume Water Advisory in effect for children in Fort McKay

    Crews expect to begin flushing the water distribution system on Monday, July 6, and may complete the process on Wednesday. The Municipality is working closely with Alberta Health Services and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas on the flushing plan.  

    Once flushing is complete, comprehensive testing must be completed to ensure the water meets the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines before regular water service can be restored and the Do Not Consume Advisory can be lifted by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC). Collecting water samples and receiving results typically takes a few days.  

    Infants, children up to 13 years of age and pregnant women in Fort McKay are advised to not consume water from the Fort McKay Water Treatment Plant until water testing shows that the water meets the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) issued the Do Not Consume Advisory on June 29, 2026.
