PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A city that was forced to close its water intakes after an oil spill on the North Saskatchewan River has received a $5-million payment from Husky Energy.
The city of Prince Albert said the initial payment will help cover direct costs and indirect losses due to a pipeline leak that spilled up to 250,000 litres of oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon into the river near Maidstone, Sask., in July.
