Keep off neighborhood Ponds
The Martensville Fire Department is warning residents to stay off of local neighborhood ponds until further notice . Warm weather has led to a deterioration of ice conditions on local ponds . The pond system is part of the municipal drainage system so the ponds have had a lot of running water diverted on to them over the past week . The conditions have made ponds unsafe to walk on or for any recreational use .
