Lethbridge urged to conserve water amid Oldman flood threat
Lethbridge and Coaldale residents face strict water restrictions as the Oldman River floods subside. Authorities urge no nonessential usage, with industry accounting for about 12 percent of demand. Sewage strain lessening while basements clear in many districts. A boil-water notice remains possible, with bottled water available at schools and stores.

Pincher Creek’s fate tied to sun and melting snowpack
A provincial state of emergency extends at least 24 hours as Pincher Creek braces for sun driven snow melt and possible evacuations. Volunteers scoop basements with sandbags while Alberta Environment monitors water levels and Fort Macleod enforces a boil water order for 3,000 residents. Stand Off evacuees remain housed in schools as roads wash out and power restoration continues in Cardston, Pincher Creek, and Waterton areas.
