It appears that lobbying has paid off as last week crews were working on remediating the washed out banks of the Michichi Creek behind homes on 9th Street North West.
Last April unusually high runoff eroded the banks of Michichi Creek threatening properties in the area. The runoff left a chasm that threatened residential properties.
Since the high water event the Town of Drumheller has been lobbying to have the creek bank fixed. In January of this year The Mail reported that the town was close to having a commitment to have the work done. It took agreement by a number of levels of government as well as departments as the work involved construction on a waterway.
Ledcor agreed to take on the project and last week material was being hauled in to fill the extremely eroded banks caused by runoff. Earlier the project was estimated to take three weeks, depending on weather.
Also last week a crew was working on the bridge that crosses Michichi Creek on North Dinosaur trail. This was regular maintenance not related to the remediation project.
