PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. -- An insurance claim clinic has opened in Prince Albert to help people impacted by an oil spill on the North Saskatchewan River.
A Husky pipeline leak detected July 21 spilled up to 250,000 litres of oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon into the river near Maidstone, Sask., and forced communities downstream to close drinking water intakes.
Businesses such as car washes and laundromats have been closed and their owners are concerned about a loss of income.
Husky says on its website that people should bring documents, including receipts, invoices and bank account details, to the claims centre in Prince Albert today and Saturday.
Another claims clinic is being set up for August 12 and 13 in the city of North Battleford, Sask.
Meanwhile, the city of Prince Albert says it has resumed its service to rural customers because two, temporary lines are now bringing in enough water from other sources to supply the city.
