Dam releases aim to blunt flood peak in Medicine Hat
Environment officials said lowering dam levels two days before heavy rain aimed to spread peak flow and reduce river rises. Dams at the Oldman St Marys and Waterton began 24 hour operations on June 16 drawing down levels as communities including Medicine Hat faced flood risk. The exact reduction in peak flow remains undetermined with further calculations pending.

City lifts local emergency as Medicine Hat readies sewer repairs
The Emergency Operations Centre is deactivated and the local emergency will end today with only one family evacuated after floods. Crews start repairs on a ruptured 1940s era clay tile sewer line expected to take two to three weeks. Debris and silt cleared along Parkview Drive and River Road as pumps divert wastewater into creeks feeding the South Saskatchewan. Four of 14 homes suffered damage where back flow occurred due to valves or prevention systems not in place. City officials coordinate with federal and provincial agencies as cleanup continues and parks remain closed in places.
