The City would like to remind residents to exercise caution in and around area waterways and proceed with caution on roads with higher water levels, as the ditch may not be visible.
All City waterways are still being closely monitored. Once rivers and creeks recede, Infrastructure & Operations will commence any necessary road and trail repairs.
