We were notified this morning of a possible consolidation of the ice cover upstream of town.
As this occurred, the higher water level that was built up behind the forming front was released and started moving downstream.
Water levels rose a bit with water visible at the Heart River and Pat's Creek, but water gauges have since shown the river level is going back down.
At this point, we're not seeing anything concerning. We will be continuing to monitor it and will let you know if that changes.
Remember that the ice cover is extremely unstable, river levels are unpredictable, and people should stay off and away from the Peace River, Heart River, and Pat's Creek.
