City of Kamloops keeps eyes on dikes, weather forecast as Thompson Rivers creep higher
KAMLOOPS — City of Kamloops crews are inspecting dikes and hoping for dry skies as they nervously watch the rising Thompson Rivers.
Utility Services Manager Greg Wightman says daily dike inspections are the most important part of his department’s job right now.
Wightman says with the North Thompson River near its peak, he’s hoping a storm forecast for the North Thompson basin this weekend doesn’t come to pass.
