With double-digit temperatures hitting the City of Moose
Jaw, a lot of municipal and provincial flood preparation is underway.
“In
Moose Jaw, and sort of Regina, we’re going to see levels approach 2011 and
possibly go above that,” said Water Security Agency (WSA) spokesman Patrick
Boyle. “So it really depends on the weather. We’re somewhat at the mercy of
Mother Nature.”
Around
noon on Friday, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure was notified that a
portion of Highway 2 located 14 kilometres south of Moose Jaw was underwater,
according to Doug Wakabayashi, assistant director of communications for the
ministry.
