The Woodlands council has declared a state of local
emergency due to the flood stage lake levels.
Also. The province still will not commit to funding the installation of
Geotubes.
Rather than wait and do nothing, the RM has hired a contractor (Lakefront
Restorers) to install a system of super sandbags wrapped in
geo-textile cloth to protect vulnerable properties. This method has
been used in the past on Lake Manitoba and has successfully stood up to
heavy waves.
