Update April 29th
: 24 hour Monitoring of the construction project at the Jensen Reservoir continues. Alberta Environment and Parks updated the Town that thus far it has not been necessary to increase the water levels down the Pothole Creek and the risk of needing to has gone down but hasn’t gone away. Our ongoing recommendation currently is still that all residents continue to keep outside of the banks of the Pothole Creek and remain alert if nearby.
