Emergency Boil Water Orders (EBWOs) are issued by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) when a confirmed threat to public health exists (e.g. microbial contamination). Precautionary Drinking Water Advisories (PDWAs) may be issued by the Water Security Agency (WSA) or the Ministry of Environment when drinking water quality problems may exist although an immediate public health threat has not been identified.
You can access information on EBWOs and PDWAs in Saskatchewan through:
- Precautionary Drinking Water Advisories (PDWA) and Emergency Boil Water Orders (EBWO) Currently in Effect for Water Security Agency or Ministry of Environment Regulated Waterworks
- Precautionary Drinking Water Advisories (PDWA) and Emergency Boil Water Orders (EBWO) Currently in Effect for Saskatchewan Health Authority Regulated Waterworks
NOTE: Every effort is made to post and remove PDWAs and EBWOs in a timely manner; however, circumstances may arise that prevent timely revisions. In the event consumers require additional information regarding application of a PDWA or EBWO, they are advised to contact their water supplier, WSA, SHA or the Ministry of Environment as outlined in the site-specific PDWA or EBWO. If questions arise after hours regarding a PDWA or EBWO issued to a municipal water system or any other WSA regulated waterworks, an environment officer may be reached by calling 1-844-536-9494.
