Resident raises concerns with Cenovus well leak in Saskatchewan
PAYNTON — Cenovus Energy Inc. is facing questions over a well leak at a thermal facility in western Saskatchewan, where an area resident says some are concerned about their health. Mylan Tootoosis of Poundmaker Cree Nation says the Rush Lake site in Paynton, Sask., is releasing a strong stench and some are getting headaches, watery eyes and sore throats. He says they want the company to provide air quality data and remediate the issue. Cenovus says in a statement it's working to resolve the leak, which has been releasing an odorous water vapour since early May. It says it does not know the cause but believes it may be a problem with a well casing. Saskatchewan's energy ministry says in a statement the fluid being released is mostly muddy water and steam, but it includes hydrogen sulfide gas. The ministry says air quality monitoring shows the gas is not posing an immediate risk to public health.
