Wastewater Emergency Situation Resolved
December 19, 2025
The City of Fernie’s emergency wastewater response has now concluded.
All emergency discharge points have been closed, and the Colclough Lift Station is once again functioning effectively. System flows have stabilized, and crews have confirmed that critical infrastructure is operating as intended.
City staff and contractors worked around the clock throughout this extreme weather event to protect homes, businesses, and essential services. We thank residents and businesses for their cooperation, particularly those who reduced water use during the emergency.
As with last week’s event, the City will now move into required reporting and follow-up actions. We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if required.
Thank you to our regional and provincial partners for their coordination and support, and to the community for your patience and understanding.
