A super charged, heavy and sustained downpour over the supper hour has resulted in a surge in the City’s storm system. The City is aware of manhole covers that may have popped off from the heavy rain. Use caution and reduce speed when driving through deep puddles; avoid driving through flooded roadways and walking through deep puddles if possible.

Call Dispatch at 306-975-2476 to report any flood related concerns. The City is experiencing a high volume of calls, and thanks residents for their patience. 

We have brought in available crews to clear flooded roadways and to repair manhole covers as quickly as possible.
