Crews in Swan River have discovered the problem that caused the state of emergency over the weekend.

 

Swan River Deputy Mayor Lance Jacobson says a malfunction of some valves inside two of the three wells affected the pump system. That issue prevented the well water from reaching the treatment plant. 

Reports are saying that the repairs were completed last night. 

The town released an update at 10 this morning saying the current water level in the reservoir is critically low.

At this time safe water is being produced and there is no boil water advisory in effect.

All schools in the community and daycare are closed today, while the hospital and primary health care clinic will be open as normal.
