The City of Enderby Emergency Operations Centre is monitoring and responding to localized flood conditions and encourages residents who may live in flood-prone areas to take measures to protect their property.
Closures remain in effect for Riverdale Drive, Kildonan Boat Launch, and Tuey Park. Please respect all barricades and signs that are in place.
Mild, dry conditions are forecast for today, which will slightly warm into tomorrow.
Forecast models are predicting that the Shuswap River discharge rate will continue to slightly rise throughout the week, with a discharge rate of 483.2 m3 /s predicted for Friday June 24, 2022.
The BC River Forecast Centre is maintaining a Flood Watch over the Shuswap Region, which includes South Thompson tributaries such as the Shuswap River. A Flood Watch means that the river levels are forecast to rise and will approach or may exceed the river bank. Flooding of areas adjacent to affected rivers may occur.
The upstream hydrometric gauge is down and the real-time Shuswap River water height and discharge rate are unavailable at this time; Water Survey of Canada has confirmed that crews are on site and hope to have the gauge fixed soon.
Sand and sandbags are available for free at the Public Works Yard at 2308 McGowan Street. Please bring your own shovel.
