Swift Current state of emergency extended
Swift Current will remain in a local state of emergency for the next 10 to 14 days.
According to the latest statement released by the city, water levels in Swift Current Creek are expected to fluctuate during that time, as the Water Security Agency manages water levels in the nearby Duncairn Dam.
Fire chief Ryan Hunter said there’s still a way to go before the city is in the clear.
“The Water Security Agency helped the City of Swift Current for the last few days by holding back water release from the dam, as we took in a lot of water from other tributaries going into the Swift Current Creek,” he explained.
