Suncor is getting attention for a new practice in northern Alberta.
In an industry first, the company has started to reuse tailings pond water in their operations.
The toxic water is treated at a facility and then pumped through an existing pipeline to be reused again.
The National Post reports 1,500 cubic metres of water will be saved every day as a result of the process.
It’s not known if other companies will adopt the practice.
