The City of Prince Albert is preparing for potential flooding in higher risk areas as the river is expected to rise to peak levels on Thursday.
The city will sandbag catchbasins along Macdowall Crescent and along 15th Avenue between Second and Fourth Streets.
As a precautionary measure, the city and the Prince Albert Fire Department are contacting residents on the south side of Riverside Drive, Highway 55 East and select residents in Little Red River Park.
On Wednesday, the city issued two separate warnings to residents that they may have to leave their homes if there is flooding.
