City of Medicine Hat says residents shouldn’t be alarmed by dye in river
Residents may notice strange colours in the South Saskatchewan River starting today, the city says.
That’s because the City of Medicine Hat is conducting standard testing of the stormwater system in a section of the Harlow neighbourhood.
Testing will occur along the river between the Trans-Canada Highway around the Windmill Garden Centre, and is expected to last for a week.
A small amount of red, blue, and violet-coloured dye will be diluted in the stormwater system during the procedure.
