Oil Spill Threatens Chestermere Lake | Calgary News

An oil spill in southeast Calgary sent motor oil and hydraulic fluid into the canal feeding Chestermere Lake, forcing authorities to shut off inflows to contain the mess. Firefighters deployed a vacuum truck to clean the slick, causing lake levels to drop nearly a meter—but officials confirmed the oil didn’t enter the lake. Water flow resumed by Saturday, and the Western Irrigation District expects levels to normalize by Monday. A stark reminder of how far-reaching environmental incidents can be—and how quickly communities can respond. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
