A February 28 water sample from Rosebud Feeders Ltd.’s worker housing, located northeast of Airdrie, past Irricana in Rocky View County, tested positive for E. coli and Total Coliform bacteria, prompting Alberta Health Services (AHS) to issue a Boil Water Order. The business is listed a cattle ranching and farming operation. The well supplying the housing is located inside a livestock pen, with no setbacks from animal waste, presenting contamination risks.
