Dawson Creek renews state of emergency as water outlook improves

Dawson Creek renewed its state of emergency due to water supply concerns, but recent snowfall has improved the outlook. The city's water intake is flowing and not freezing, with 182 days of usable water stored. Snowpack in the region is significantly above normal. The emergency, first declared in October due to drought, allows swift action. A permanent water supply project from the Peace River is also being pursued.
