WID will be shutting the Bow River diversion on September 30^th and begin the process of dewatering the canals and pipelines over the following weeks. To comply with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans regulations, we will be staging the river diversion down over the final 3 days of September.

The WID will again hold the level of the Chestermere reservoir up until the end of the Thanksgiving long weekend, and once the holiday has passed, that reservoir will be drained down to its winter elevation with the water released from Chestermere flowing downstream to the Langdon reservoir bringing its water level up to the desired winter elevation.
