Despite appearance, city water still safe to drink
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The City of Medicine Hat says the water is safe to drink despite discolouration reported in some homes
According to Brian Murphy, with the City of Medicine Hat, it’s the turbidity of the South Saskatchewan River from fast runoff and spring melt is the reason behind the colour change.
“There is a slight discoloration to the water,” he said. “The water is safe, it’s completely treated and meets all standards.”
