SPRINGBROOK – Residents of Springbrook are currently experiencing a disruption of water service due to a fire that occurred last night at a water treatment facility.
County Fire Services arrived and quickly got the fire under control.

Alberta Health Services has also issued a boil water advisory for Springbrook.
