Cherry Creek rising again after rainfall event, culvert diversion
CHERRY CREEK, B.C. — Heading into the weekend, the flood watch continues around the Southern Interior. Water levels along Cherry Creek have risen slightly in the last 24 hours.
The rain event from Thursday, combined with work being done along the washed-out Greenstone Road, has increased the velocity of the creek’s flow.
Corine LeBourdais says the creek has risen more than a foot since Thursday, and more sandbags were placed along the creek bed Friday morning at her place, which has been hit hard by the flooding. Some water leaked through the sandbags with more rain, and the Ministry of Transportation removing barriers that were previously holding back some of the creek’s flow.
