A state of emergency has been declared in Swan River, Man., as the town's water supply has almost run out and officials don't know what the problem is. The town's nearly 4,000 residents have been told to cut back their water use after public works staff discovered that water from the well was not getting to the town's treatment plant. Officials say the water is currently safe to drink, but the town might have to issue a boil water advisory. A Manitoba government spokesperson told CBC "several government departments, including Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization, are monitoring problems with Swan River's water distribution system." "While no formal request for help has been made by the town, our government is treating this situation seriously."
