SaskEnergy, and its subsidiary TransGas, take pride in providing safe and reliable service to our customers. Every year, as part of our enhanced safety and gas line integrity program, we routinely perform a variety of safety tests and inspections throughout different areas of the province. This includes surveying for natural gas leaks and visual inspections of utility right-of-ways.

To inspect our gas lines, we may utilize a variety of techniques that can include both vehicle-mounted equipment and hand-held devices. These highly sensitive instruments are designed to detect natural gas and will be used to survey above and below ground infrastructure. In the event that a natural gas leak is detected or other repairs to the system need to be made, SaskEnergy personnel will respond accordingly.

SELF-ISOLATION ALL travellers returning from international destinations – including the United States – are subject to a mandatory self-isolation order of 14 days. Violation of the order may result in a $2,000.00 fine. Anyone identified by a Medical Health Officer as a close contact of someone with COVID-19 shall also go into mandatory self-isolation for 14 days from the date of having been exposed.

SASKALERT APP

The SPSA is encouraging residents to sign up for the SaskAlert App as a way to get accurate and timely information about COVID-19. The app will provide urgent, critical information about how individuals and families can protect themselves. The SaskAlert App allows users to choose to receive emergency public alerts for the entire province, a particular municipality or a First Nation community. The app can target residents in a geographic area if urgent information is specific to one region or municipality within the province.

In an emergency, a tone will sound, similar to receiving a normal text message notification – even when the app is closed. Individuals can then open the app to find information on the emergency and instructions on any actions they are required to take.
