The Municipal District of Pincher Creek council has approved $182,682 in funding for the Oldman Reservoir emergency intake system to resolve ongoing operational challenges. This follows reports of pump failures and high manganese levels in the raw water supply.

The total budget for the intake project in 2025 is $1.8 million, with $1,732,318 spent to date. The new funds will support installing a potassium permanganate dosing system for $173,000. Council also addressed land use bylaw amendments, established an appeal board, and discussed an irrigation project related to water access discovered by Pincher Creek Colony.
