Water Quality Restored in St. Albert's Sturgeon River
Alberta Health Services has officially rescinded the water use advisory for the Sturgeon River in St. Albert. The decision, announced on November 14, 2025, comes after extensive water testing confirmed that the environmental impacts from a previous sewage leak have now completely dissipated.
Monitoring and Test Results
Following the initial incident, AHS implemented a rigorous water quality monitoring program. Recent laboratory analysis of river samples showed that contaminant levels have returned to normal, safe parameters. The health authority confirmed that the river water no longer poses a significant health risk to the public.
Public Safety and Next Steps
While the advisory has been lifted, officials continue to remind residents to exercise general caution around any natural water bodies. The lifting of the advisory means recreational activities on and near the Sturgeon River can resume without the previously recommended restrictions. AHS commended the public for their cooperation during the period of heightened water safety monitoring.
