Epcor also started pumping water out of the pond on Oct. 15 to lower water levels in the pond in hopes of preventing the fish from reaching the North Saskatchewan River.
Lowering the water level in the pond is expected to take until the end of the week.
The town of Sylvan Lake is also using chemicals to cull goldfish from a stormwater pond.
