We will have Chestermere at or close to operational level by morning of Saturday 2^nd of May, we will then reduce diversion and open up the A canal out of Chestermere to start to fill Langdon. Once we hit FSL at Langdon we will open a up all canal diversions for flushing and pipeline filling. I would estimate that the canal fill start day will be on Thursday, May 7^th. This would not be our regular ops plan but because of cold daytime and overnights we have been afforded an opportunity to start up a week later than we would normally. This will allow time to complete in canal work plus an extra day or two safety factor.

Snowpack is significant this 2026 spring with almost double the snow volume recorded for the same time in 2025. Reservoir storage is at target levels in the district and soil moisture levels are reported as very good with seeding beginning soon. The water supply outlook for 2026 is currently very good.

Current temperatures are cooler than average for both daytime and overnight after the first 2 months of 2026, currently offering markedly warmer temperatures than the long-term average. (source: Alberta Climate Information Service – (ACIS))
