Rathwell Water Repair - 4:00p.m. - update The repair was made, lines pressurized and water turned on to discover another leak further down the line at Green Prairie Lodge. Water has been turned off and further digging required to locate. Work crews still onsite and hoping to have water restored by supper time. Further updates to follow.

Rathwell Utility Repair - 1:00 p.m. update The new line has been installed in the waterplant and the reservoir is in the process of being filled so that water can be turned on and lines pressurized, unfortunately the curbstop repair has not gone so well at the lodge and a vac truck needed to be called in. It has just arrived onsite and once it clears the work area to allow the repair to happen, water will be turned back on. Sorry for the delay!
