A water valve repair is underway in the 3200 block of South Parkside Drive South.

The final long weekend of the summer is on the horizon. While many residents and visitors will flock to Henderson Lake Park, the City of Lethbridge is reminding everyone to be mindful of the Cyanobacteria advisory in effect for the lake.

Starting this week, Lethbridge spray parks will have some slight adjustments to open hours of operation.

A months-long water infrastructure project is moving into its final weeks. Work to replace the aging watermain along 11 Street South, between 3 Avenue South and 6 Avenue South, began May 21.

The final stage of the project involves temporarily closing the intersection of 11 Street South and 6 Avenue South.

To help meet another community need and help our residents cool down during the current hot weather forecast, Gyro Spray Park on the westside will be open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

As we head deeper into the hot months of July and August, the City of Lethbridge is sharing a reminder of City resources available to help residents stay cool and safe.

The City of Lethbridge’s updated Water Rationing Action Plan (WRAP) is ready to deploy, if necessary. Council approved a necessary amendment to the Water Bylaw to update the WRAP from the 2016 version.

Another sure sign that summer is almost here: Lethbridge spray parks are opening! Water will flow at two of the city’s three spray parks on Friday, May 17, at 12 p.m.

Do you have questions about water conservation? Reservoir levels? Mountain snowpack? Rain barrels? There’s a webpage for that!

The City of Lethbridge is leading by example in water conservation efforts. In response to potential drought conditions this year, the corporation is implementing internal water restrictions ahead of any mandated changes.
