We continue to assess and evaluate the impact of yesterday’s heavy rainfall. Several neighbourhoods across the city were affected by localized flooding.
If you experienced damage to your property, contact your insurance company immediately. They can guide you through the process for cleanup and restoration, and filing a claim.
If you are experiencing active flooding today (i.e., water has not receded or new flooding has occurred), please call 403-342-8750.
All roads are open, with the exception of 43 Street between 48 Ave and 49 Ave. All trails are open, with the exception of the shale trail between Spruce Drive and Ross St. If you come across an area with standing water, please find alternate trail routes and report to www.reddeer.ca/ReportAProblem.
Residents may notice an increased amount of water in storm ponds. These are an important mechanism in helping to collect excess water from the system and they will drain over time. Because of changing water levels and poor water quality, stormwater ponds are not for recreation. Swimming, wading and boating of any type is dangerous and not allowed.
