River break-up is nearly complete.
Most ice has cleared through town and water levels have returned to more typical conditions.
The ice jams at the mouths of the Smoky River and Heart River have both released, with no flooding impacts reported.
An Ice Advisory remains in effect, but the risk of ice jamming is now very low, with no expectation of flood impacts.
Please continue to use caution near riverbanks and embankments. Recently submerged areas may be slippery. The river is moving faster than it appears and remains very cold.
Thank you to the community for preparing so well and being ready to act if needed.
