1. The High Level Great Divide Waterfall has dried up after city council decided Tuesday to pull the plug on the former Edmonton landmark.

3. Councillors voted without debate to take back the remaining $735,000 set aside last year to repair the High Level Bridge attraction, which hasn't run since 2009. The waterfall, opened in 1980 to mark Alberta's 75th anniversary, was closed because of environmental concerns about pouring chlorinated water into the river.

5. It operated four or five times a year on warm long weekends and special events, such as the sourdough raft race. But a recent report estimated installing pumps to use untreated water and replacing the corroded pipes would cost up to $2.6 million.

7. Only Coun. Amarjeet Sohi and Coun. Ben Henderson, who has argued the city should wait to see if a fundraising group comes forward, voted to keep the repair money in place.

9. Artist Peter Lewis, who donated the piece to the city, said last week he opposed using public funds for the waterfall.
