Town of Magrath

According to the Town of Magrath’s website, the weather forecast looks wet and cold later this month. For this reason, the town’s public works department will be shutting off the town’s irrigation network tomorrow instead of Oct. 4, as previously mentioned and scheduled.

This is being done to avoid frost damage to any of the lines and also because significant moisture is forecast to be falling in the community commencing today, according to the town’s website post.
