The clean-up is underway south of Edmonton after a pipeline leak on Tuesday afternoon. It happened about 10 kilometres east of Red Deer on a line owned by Penn West Exploration.
The company says there was a drop in pressure in a produced water injection line. Employees found the spill in a canola field.
The Penn West rep makes "produced water" sound like no big deal. Wikipedia begs to differ. Definitely not something you want on your Canola.
