The R-M of Riverdale has issued several notices:
1) That patrons STOP attending the Rivers Dam until further notice due to the unpredictable rapid moving water.
It has been noted that patrons are visiting the Rivers Dam to take photos and observe its current state.
As the Municipality is currently in a Sate of Local Emergency we are ordering that all patrons stay off the dam to allow workers and volunteers the space they need to work.
Riverdale Municipality Council hereby orders that travel to the Rivers Dam cease immediately:
Only those authorized to so may attend the dam to complete work that is needed.
If you are found in contravention of the above order the Municipality will have no choice but to follow through with remediation as per the Manitoba Municipal Act.
