Cache Creek issues evacuation alert as Bonaparte River rises again

May 21, 2020 | 2:41 PM

CACHE CREEK, B.C. — The Village of Cache Creek has once again issued an evacuation alert due to rising water.

As of 8:50 a.m. Thursday (May 21), Mayor Santo Talarico issued the alert for all properties adjacent to the Bonaparte River, or whose only access would be cut off if the Bonaparte floods.

Talarico also declared a state of local emergency.

According to village spokeswoman Wendy Coomber, that equates to about 175 properties.

The Bonaparte River was subject to a high streamflow advisory from the B.C. River Forecast Centre earlier this month, but that advisory was lifted on May 11.
