Cache Creek has been dealing with high water for more than a week. The first water problems began when the smaller Cache Creek spilled its banks and then later when the Bonaparte River began to rise.

Meantime the Village of Cache Creek has extended its Local Stage of Emergency which was set to expire over the weekend.
