Officials say they're still working to repair and rebuild after June's flooding, and they are well on their way to recovery..

The information comes as part of an update on the progress of the flood recovery on Monday morning.

According to the task force convened after the flooding, about 6,000 homes were flooded and 4,000 businesses impacted.

City staff are continuing to work with residents who have made the choice to demolish their damaged properties and aid those homeowners who have still not made the decision.

About 185 municipal projects are also still under repair.

Officials say those are about halfway completed.

“Over the past seven months, about half of the projects have been repaired or rebuilt,” said Gord Stewart, Director of Recovery, in a release. “In some instances, the end product has added mitigation and resiliency components so the infrastructure is better able in the future to address and recover from incidents like flooding.”

The list, a map of locations and all progress reports to City Council are at www.calgary.ca/floodrecovery.

Council has approved total flood recovery capital spending of $316 M in 2013 and 2014. Total long-term capital costs are estimated at $445 as some actions will extend into the next Action Plan (2015-2018) and beyond.
