The municipality is discontinuing its curbsite support for residents who could not boil water due to disconnected utilities after the flood.

The staging area in the municipal parking lot will no longer be in operation after Friday, May 15.

The Wood Buffalo Food Bank is operating on an emergency-based system and is supplying hampers to those who are in need through their temporary locations.

Everyone living or staying north of the bridge is asked to go to Fort City Church in Thickwood.

Everyone south of the bridge is asked to go to the Gregoire location.

The boil water advisory is still in effect for the Urban Service Area of Fort McMurray, Waterways, and Saprae Creek Estates.

Tap water needs to be brought to a rapid rolling boil for one minute to be safely consumed.
