LIBBY — Engineers are monitoring a diversion dam in Libby that could potentially fail after recent flood conditions compromised the structure.
The Lower Flower Creek Diversion Dam has the potential for failure but is currently holding, according to information received by the City of Libby and Lincoln County Emergency Management Saturday.
Recent flooding may have compromised the dam's integrity, prompting officials to issue a warning to residents in areas that could be affected if the structure fails.
If the dam does fail, the resulting water flow could impact the notified area, emergency management officials said.
Residents who wish to relocate can contact 406-293-6295 for assistance.
