A boil water advisory has been issued for customers of the Blumenfeld - Hochfeld Water Co-op.

In a note submitted to PembinaValleyOnline, an official with the rural utility says "excessive and inappropriate use" has resulted in demand outstripping the supply and the buffer of the reservoir.

Maximum water conservation is required at this time as well. The official says this means no lawn, garden or pool use of treated water.
