Athabasca County's truck fill stations in Grassland and Colinton remain closed while crews work to repair a water main break. The town of Athabasca's (pictured) remains open for users, as does one in Plamondon in Lac La Biche County.

A water conservation order for the eastern part of Athabasca County, including the Village of Boyle, remains in effect while the Aspen Regional Water Services Commission works to repair a break to the water main.

In an update sent via the Voyent Alert app, Athabasca County said the reservoirs in Colinton, Grassland, and Wandering River are sufficient to serve to residents and businesses that are hooked up to county water services lines, but asked residents to work to conserve water while the repairs are underway.

Individuals in need of a truck fill are encouraged to go to Plamondon, in Lac La Biche County, or use the station in the town of Athabasca. 

Further updates will be sent if the commission and Athabasca County determine additional action to be required.
