Those looking to beat today's scorching heat will have to look somewhere other than the Rotary Spray Park water fountain, as repair work is complete but it remains closed while the town waits for approval from Alberta Health Services.
A water sample was taken this week by AHS and will be assessed to determine if the water is safe for public use. Construction work, which began in late July, is finished and the underground piping has been repaired. The fountain was initially closed due to large amounts of water being lost due to corroded pipes.
The fountain will be opened once AHS gives their approval, but a timeline is not known at this time, a town official said.
