WINNIPEG The mayor of Morden, Man., said the water level for the city’s main source of drinking water could soon get so low, the water would be untreatable. “We’re in somewhat uncharted territory,” said Morden Mayor Brandon Burley, noting that Lake Minnewasta is at historically low levels. On Wednesday, CTV News Winnipeg reported the City of Morden declared a severe drought. “We’re looking at contingency plans, including (the) immediate ability to increase potable water via outside sources, most notably the Pembina Valley Water Co-op. But also at restrictions, both mandatory and voluntary, to reduce our consumption,” Burley said.
