Residents encouraged to prepare now for possible high water

Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for Canmore with amounts up to 100mm likely. Click here for more info.

After a high water incident last June, the Town of Canmore is watching water levels again this year and encouraging residents to prepare now in case of high water levels later. Town staff are regularly monitoring water levels and areas of concern. All residents are encouraged to regularly check basements for flooding. Property owners should be taking actions to protect their homes and property from flooding and to mitigate any flooding that occurs. Home owners should notify their insurance companies if they experience flooding and keep records of any damage. If flooding occurs, water should not be pumped into the sewer system. Pumped water should go in to yards, the boulevard, or the street. Residents are advised to call insurance companies and a restoration contractor if sewage seepage occurs. Handling this material can be unsafe. Using professionals is encouraged.
