Red Deer
Cause determined, Boil Water Advisory ends
BWA Update: Cause of service disruption determined, boil water advisory lifted
(Red Deer, Alberta)The boil water advisory for the West Park and West Lake neighbourhoods was lifted after multiple clear samples and consultation with Alberta Health Services.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on November 20, 2018, residents in multiple neighbourhoods reported little to no water pressure. Water was restored by 10:35 p.m. to all affected areas, and crews flushed affected areas and took samples to ensure water quality.
Environmental Services has investigated the cause and determined that an uninterrupted power supply failure in the control system resulted in a total system shut down. Pumps at the booster station and Water Treatment Plant were manually turned on, and water pressure was restored within 20 minutes of the failure.
After a disruption of this nature, lines can be disturbed with sediment. Though the water is safe, residents are encouraged to run taps for five minutes to flush their lines.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Environmental Services at 403-342-8750.

Westerner Park acknowledges the recent announcement of Peavey Mart closing all its locations across Canada, and the significant impact this will have on our community.
Peavey Mart has been the naming sponsor of the Centrium since 2021, a partnership that has helped create lasting memories for thousands of Central Albertans. Their support extended beyond their name on the building—Peavey Mart embraced our community by participating in activities during Westerner Days and supplying essential items that brought these events to life.
“Our partnership with Peavey Mart exemplifies the kind of meaningful relationships that can have a lasting impact,” said Shelly Flint, CEO of Westerner Park. “While their closure is undoubtedly a loss for the community, we are grateful for the support they’ve provided over the years and remain committed to finding the right partnerships to continue serving Central Alberta.”
As Westerner Park navigates this transition, the organization remains as a hub of Central Alberta. This includes not only hosting more events and attractions on the park but also finding new ways to connect with the community. “Whether it’s collaborating on events outside of our grounds or encouraging our team to participate in local initiatives as volunteers, our focus remains on strengthening our ties with the people and organizations that make this region so vibrant,” Flint added.
Westerner Park is actively seeking businesses and organizations that share a vision of fostering growth and connection within the community. Any parties interested in exploring partnership opportunities are encouraged to reach out.
