Rising water levels on the North Saskatchewan River following heavy Alberta rainfall are prompting Husky Energy to halt cleanup efforts on the river.
A spokesperson for the energy company says a number of boats and booms being used to cleanup last month’s oil spill — which saw up to 250,000 litres of oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon spill into the river near Maidstone, Sask. — have been removed and that work on the shoreline will be paused for safety reasons until the water recedes.
