Operators at the Fort McKay Water Treatment Plant are making progress on bringing manganese levels down to meet the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines and restore the normal appearance of tap water. Over the past 48 hours, manganese levels continued to decline but remain slightly above the federal guidelines.

Infants, children up to 13 years of age and pregnant women in Fort McKay are advised to not consume water from the Fort McKay Water Treatment Plant, due to current manganese levels that exceed the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) issued the Do Not Consume Advisory on June 29, 2026.
