Rolling Meadows Estates is a country residential subdivision that was developed in the 1970’s. It is located north of Highway 16 near Spruce Grove and immediately south of the Atim Creek floodplain.
Rolling Meadows has a history of flooding issues since it was developed. The flooding complaints are reported by residents to both County administration and elected officials.
