CHLORAMINE NOTIFICATION:
Effective January 01/2020 Birch Hills County will be upgrading the disinfection system at the Eaglesham Water Treatment Plant. Currently only Chlorine is used as the disinfectant. January 2020 Aqueous Ammonia will be added in addition to the chlorine. This will result in a more stable disinfectant, lasting much longer giving better control of any disinfectant by-products. Water quality will remain the same and may even improve slightly. The only people affected will be those using Dialysis machines and fish aquariums. Consultation with their manufacture will be required.

RCMP Public Facing Crime - Mapping Project
Crime mapping is an innovative tool by which the Alberta RCMP is tackling the few offenders who commit the most crimes. This project allows the RCMP to continue to increase inter-agency communication and sharing criminal intelligence with its partners. It also encourages Albertans to participate in crime prevention strategies, such as reporting suspicious persons or activity, in an effort to be an extra set of eyes and ears for police in their communities. Initiatives such as this one can go a long way in creating safe and resilient communities for all Albertans.

- Only certain crime types will be represented on the map;
- Theft from Motor Vehicle;
- Theft of Motor Vehicle;
