While the moisture of this week is welcomed by many people looking forward to spring, it's certainly put a damper on the RM of Gilbert Plains.
Reeve Jim Manchur mentioned some of the challenges they're facing this year on the roads.
"We had about 82 roads that experienced some kind of flood event on different levels and a little less on others we had about 82 roads that experienced some sort of washout in the past week."

Flooded roads aren't the only problems the RM, as the golf course and campground areas struggle with the excess water.
"We want to get it up and running because the season will be starting soon, but there's a lot of clean up, a lot of damage to the fairways, the greens, the campground buildings, and such."
Most of the roads have re-opened, but Manchur also noted drainage issues still need to be more thoroughly addressed.
With more precipitation on the way, it could be a while before The RM is looking a little less water-logged
