Nine communities near Humboldt, Sask., will receive help to prevent flood damage.

The towns of Aberdeen, Bruno and Colonsay, rural municipalities of Colonsay, Humboldt and Wolverine, villages of Muenster and Viscount and the hamlet of Carmel will share more than $300,000 under the emergency flood damage reduction program.

The money will cover pumping equipment, snow clearing, ditches and channels, steaming culverts, construction and upgrades of berms and culverts and sandbagging a sewage lift station, well sites and a well control building.
