Environment Lethbridge

Increased silt in the river means we need to reduce water usage so that the water treatment plant can keep up. Do your part by postponing laundry and conserving water.

The City of Lethbridge is asking everyone to cut back on non‑essential water use for at least the next few days.

Rainfall has pushed extra debris into the river, making treatment more difficult.

Drinking water remains safe.

Happy Environment Week! It's a wet start to the week, but wonderful to see the rain nonetheless.

To kick off Environment Week, we're sharing a profile of Lethbridge resident Daphne Hendsbee, who has working to transform her yard into a drought-resilient garden. Read Daphne's story here: https://environmentlethbridge.ca/environment-week-profile-walking-their-talk/

Tried out three different combos of annuals for The Port Coworking Space bee boxes. Each 4sqft, self-watering container has a tall central element, several mid-size elements, a trailing plant, and a ground cover. Additionally, dill seed was sprinkled in the centre of each (bees love the umbellifers) and a couple pinches of wildflower blend from Seedy Saturday. The tags are still in, so go have a look near 8th street and 1st Ave S!
