The Municipality is asking all residents to reduce water use immediately.

Crews successfully completed the planned repairs at one of the Municipality's wastewater lift stations today. Unfortunately, during the work, additional issues were identified that require further investigation.

As a result, we are continuing to ask all residents and businesses to conserve water wherever possible. Every litre that stays out of the sanitary sewer system helps reduce pressure on the wastewater system while repairs continue.

Most importantly, if your sump pump is currently discharging into the sanitary sewer, please redirect it outside immediately. Groundwater from sump pumps adds an enormous amount of unnecessary flow to the wastewater system, making it significantly more difficult to keep the lift stations operating and delaying repairs.

To help residents, the Municipality has sump pump discharge hose available free of charge while supplies last. If you need hose or assistance redirecting your sump pump outside, please contact the Municipal Office at (204) 937-8333.

We know these requests have been ongoing, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who has already made changes to reduce water use. Your efforts are making a difference. We ask everyone to continue doing their part until the wastewater system has stabilized and repairs have been completed.

Additional updates will be provided as work progresses.

Residential Lead Monitoring Program

The Municipality of Roblin is offering free testing for lead in drinking water. The Province of Manitoba and the Municipality of Roblin recommend that you test your drinking water for lead.

Lead exposure can effect the health of everyone, but fetuses, infants and young children are the most sensitive to lead exposure. The Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines state that lead concentration in drinking water should not exceed 0.005 mg/L and recommends that child care providers and schools test their drinking water for lead.

Water from the Municipality of Roblin’s Water Treatment Plant meets the lead limit guidelines; however, lead can enter drinking water from residential lead based plumbing materials. Elevated lead concentrations at the tap are more likely in older homes, built before 1950.  Testing the drinking water in your home will help the Muniipality of Roblin assess whether lead is present in residential drinking water and the best course of action to take if it exceeds guidelines.

If you are interested in this free testing, please phone or email the Municipality of Roblin using the contact information below.  If you know that your residence was built prior to 1980 and would like this lead testing done, your residence may be chosen as a priority candidate. If selected, the Municipality of Roblin will advise you on how water samples will be collected.

You will receive the results of your drinking water test.  If your drinking water has elevated lead levels, the Municipality of Roblin will provide you with advice on how you can reduce lead in your drinking water.

The Municipality of Roblin website www.roblinmanitoba.com/ has details on the lead in drinking water testing program and the Province of Manitoba website provides additional details on lead in drinking water: https://www.gov.mb.ca/sd/water/drinking-water/lead/index.html
