The St Mary Diversion Dam in Montana has restarted after more than a year since the siphons burst, preventing any substantial water flow from travelling through the Milk River.
The siphons diverge water from the St Mary River to the Milk River to provide irrigation water across Alberta and Montana.
It burst open in June of last year, which tore through the hill and returned water back to the St Mary River.
Repairing the site cost $70 million but was well ahead of schedule, as water began flowing through the siphons by Wednesday
