City crews continued to work around the clock Monday to deal with localized flooding from the recent heavy rains that drenched Regina.

Mayor Michael Fougere says the city received more than 400 flood-related calls for service as 80 millimetres of rain fell in Regina on Sunday.

“We have fared relatively better than most other communities, many of who have called states of emergency,” Fougere said at a news conference Monday.

Fougere said city council would consider an application to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program at its next meeting.

Helena Henning-Hill, the city’s manager of sewer and water operations, said crews were still dealing with localized flooding in some areas, including the intersection of Dewdney Avenue and McCarthy Boulevard.

There was also some flooding around the Regina General Hospital, but those waters have since receded.

“We have very localized areas that were impacted, so we did see quite a difference between north end and south end, as our employees were out dealing with the situation,” Henning-Hill said.

“In some areas, the rain was coming down very hard and in other areas there was very minimal impact.”

The provincial Water Security Agency was expected to release more water from Wascana Lake into Wascana Creek.

But although water levels on Wascana Creek are expected to rise as a result, no flooding is expected along the tributary, said Jay O’Connor, the city’s manager of emergency management.

“In the past, we’ve always been prepping for creek-based flooding, trying to keep the creek contained to its boundaries,” O’Connor said.

“This is a different situation, where the rain is coming from outside the creek and we’re trying to get it into the creek as quickly as we can.”

According to Environment Canada, another 15 millimetres of rain was expected in the city Monday.

Both the storm sewer system and the sanitary sewers are at their limits, prompting Regina's fire department to urge people not to shower or even flush their toilets, if possible.
