Spring Thaw

With spring in the air and temperatures rising across the County, we’d like to remind you of a few important spring‑thaw safety tips, including keeping culverts clear for proper drainage, staying safe around thin ice, and taking steps to prevent potential flooding.

If you experience a spring-thaw drainage issue that could cause potential flooding, please call 780-968-8888.

Here are some tips to help you out:

  • Inspect your property for drainage issues
  • Ensure culverts are clear to avoid potential flooding
  • Stay off the ice
  • Make sure eaves and downspouts are extended away from your home
  • Double check that sump pump!

Proper grading:

Do the buildings on your property have proper grading?

As the warmer weather melts the snow and rain season approaches, proper grading will help prevent water from entering your home and other buildings on your property.
