Highwood River is still well below normal levels

The Highwood River that runs through High River is well below normal flow rates.

The Town of High River monitors the river flow and releases a report on Fridays during the hazard season.

Friday, June 13, turned out to be relatively lucky with the current flow rate measured at 8.52 cubic metres per second.

It's just a small increase from last week's flow rate of 6.59 metres per second.

Normal flow rates are between 25 to 65 cubic metres per second.

Even with predicted rain this week, it's not expected to increase the flow rate significantly.

The Town will continue to monitor the snow water runoff levels for another few weeks.
