Overland flooding is affecting both roads and residences in the RM of Mossey River, so the Municipality has declared a state of local emergency.

"Because of the very heavy rain, and because the water level continues to be high we are experiencing incidences where the water is flooding over roads." said Bunka. "We really want to caution people that you may think that there is only two or three inches but, there could've been a wash out." says Bunka.
Bunka adds that if residents are experiencing flooding you are to notify the Municipal office at 204-656-4791.
