    Emergency Response Has Ended

    The City of Camrose reports that its emergency response to the recent flooding has now ended. The Wastewater Treatment Plant and South Lift Station are back to normal. The Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) has been deactivated.

    City crews will continue cleanup, repairs, inspections, and monitoring. The City thanked everyone who helped the community through this event.

    Residential Water Use: Normal Use May Resume

    Residents may now resume normal water use.

    The City thanked residents who reduced non-essential water use during the event, noting that those efforts helped reduce pressure on the wastewater system.

    Jubilee Park Has Reopened

    Jubilee Park has reopened for public use.

    A few small areas beside the creek are still fenced off while they dry out and City staff continue to monitor conditions. The City asks residents to stay out of fenced areas and follow all signs and barricades.

    Creek Safety: Stay Away From the Water

    The City continues to ask everyone to stay away from the creek and out of the water.

    Although overall conditions have improved, the creek continues to move quickly, water levels remain high, and creek banks may have been weakened by recent flooding.

    Do not:

    • Swim in the creek
    • Kayak, canoe, or paddleboard
    • Enter the creek or go near the creek for any reason
    • Approach the water's edge — staying away from the edge is the safest choice until conditions improve further

    This message is especially important for families with children and anyone walking pets near the creek.

    Camrose Golf Course Update

    Holes 5 and 6 have reopened.

    A temporary boardwalk is still in place for golfers who are walking. Power cart users should follow the marked route.

    Course conditions may continue to change. Call the clubhouse before your tee time for the latest information.

    If Your Basement Flooded: City-Recommended Steps

    The City of Camrose shared these steps for residents affected by basement flooding:

    • Take photos and videos of all damage before beginning cleanup, if possible
    • Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible
    • Keep records of damaged items and cleanup or repair costs
    • Complete the Camrose Flooding Impact Information Survey by July 20, 2026 at https://forms.camrose.ca/Camrose-Flooding-Impact-Information-Survey — if you are reading this after that date, check the official flood page to confirm whether the survey is still accepting responses
    • Paper copies of the survey are available at City Hall

    For Families and Seniors

    Keep children, pets, and visitors away from creek banks and fenced areas in Jubilee Park. Respect all barricades and posted signs. Avoid getting close to the water for photos. If you are helping an older neighbour or family member, help keep photos, receipts, and insurance contacts organized and make sure basement cleanup is done safely.
