The town says its last test showed the Rotenone concentration was below the detectable limit, adding that Alberta Environment and Protected Areas has given the go-ahead to open the flow of pond water into the stormwater system.

The next couple days will see officials removing fencing and plugs, and there may be heavy equipment in the area.

Repairs to any minor rutting caused by the equipment will be done in the spring.

Additionally, the town says new signage will go up to remind residents about abandoning pets.
