Water main break fixed near former Lethbridge Hotel but residents remain displaced
LETHBRIDGE, AB β Investigative work will soon be able to resume at the site of a former hotel and nightclub in downtown Lethbridge.
The Lethbridge Hotel and Studio 54 were destroyed in a fire on February 24, 2023. Firefighting efforts in the extreme cold led to an extensive buildup of ice, which necessitated that crews demolish the building.
During the demolition work on March 7, 2023, a water main break occurred near the site in the 500 block of 2 Avenue South. The City of Lethbridge said fire investigators were forced to pause their investigation in order to accommodate the necessary repairs.
