Some residents of Riverside Drive in Northwest High River have some concerns over the height of a berm protecting their homes.

Resident Ken Mitchell says he got wind of a shortfall in the dike shortly after it was built in 2014.

"We heard about a year and a half ago that there had been an error in the surveying and the dike as built one metre too low. There was plans to mitigate that. Now, one of two things happened. Either that wasn't the case, or the mitigation has changed. And I'm trying to find out which one is in fact true."

Mitchell says this berm between the 6th and 8th holes on the Heritage Nine at the Highwood G&CC is shorter than it was supposed to be. High River Mayor Craig Snodgrass says they know, and have known for a while, and it's on the list to get fixed this year. Photo - Russell Skeet.

Mayor Craig Snodgrass says, it's all true, and all being fixed.

"It's a piece that got missed during the surveying and engineering that got screwed up. But, it can't get left. The mitigation has to be consistent throughout Town, and yeah, this one will get fixed."

Snodgrass says the problem is the dike is up to the height of the 2013 flood, but not the metre over it needs to be.

He says it should be done this year, but not before flood season.

However he's quick to point out that even if any flooding got as high as 2013 this year, it would still only be at the level the dike is at currently.
