The level of the Assiniboine River yesterday was 1179.77’. The level has remained relatively constant over the past three days. This should begin to subside as the crest works its way downstream.

The City of Brandon wishes to remind the public that Kirkcaldy Drive, inclusive of the sidewalk, remains closed between Knowlton Drive and Patterson Crescent.

The closure is necessary for continued access by pumping equipment to move water across the roadway and into the river. Additional pumps were added to this area earlier today to cope with excessive water from the recent rain which has infiltrated the sewer system along Kirkcaldy Drive.

Levels along Knowlton and Kirkcaldy Drives are expected to remain high for the next few days however the situation continues to be manageable.
