PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Government officials say efforts to activate a temporary water pipeline following an oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River were interrupted by what they suspect was a motorist who drove over the line too fast.
Workers have been building the 30-kilometre-long pipeline for more than a week in order to supply Prince Albert with an alternate source of water after the city of about 35,000 shut its intakes to prevent oil from the spill upstream from entering its treatment plant.
