The M.D. of Taber is issuing several claims under the Southern Alberta Disaster Recovery Program for its citizens, due to the heavy rains earlier this year, and the M.D. is making a claim for itself.
M.D. infrastructure has felt the wrath of Mother Nature with damage estimates anywhere between $500,000 to $700,000, with final numbers likely to be finalized in a couple of weeks.
“We have some significant claims, including the bridge that was lost along with road gravel,” said Derrick Krizsan, municipal administrator for the M.D. of Taber, referring to the bridge on Township Road 14-4, just east of Highway 36 along the Bow River. “We have ongoing pumping costs. We have a number of township and range roads in the M.D. that are continuing to be barricaded because of water over the road.”
