Black Diamond and Turner Valley were separate towns when the 2013 flood hit. Now merged, the new municipality is readying for future floods.
“The berm was designed to provide protection against what was believed to be a one-in-100-year flood,” he said.“Black Diamond and Turner Valley had been working on a project to share a water treatment plant,” he said. “Black Diamond’s was old and in need of replacement, Turner Valley had a new one. The flood came along and sped that project up a lot.”Black Diamond received $8.
While according to updated provincial flood mapping efforts, the new berms don’t meet the one-in-100-year flood benchmark, Ross says the newly formed Diamond Valley is in the process of looking at what needs to be done to ensure flood protections are up to standards.Article content In Turner Valley, prior to the flood in 2013, mitigation included erosion-control riprap along the banks at the well located at River Side Park and the gas plant. There was also a few diversion groins in the river for bank and infrastructure protection.
