The City of Red Deer said over the noon hour on Jan. 12 that water leaks are causing issues on 43 Street and on Ross Street.

The leaks are occurring, the City says, due to the extreme cold temperatures.

One leak is on Westpark Crescent and is causing runoff on 57 Avenue and 43 Street. This is resulting in icy road conditions on the 43 Street hill. Crews are on scene working to repair the leak.

Drivers are asked to avoid the area if possible, or use extreme caution, obey signs and give crews room to maneuver if you must be there.
