The city of Castlegar expects to further strengthen the North Lagoon sewage pond this year.
This from CAO John Malcolm following news the Province and Feds will pay two-thirds of the $400,000 flood preparation cost.
Malcolm says the potential problem with slippage was identified after the 2012 flooding.

He says in a worst case scenario the lagoon -which contains treated sewage- could collapse and flow into the Columbia River so the city is being prudent by doing the additional rock work.
