Free sand and sandbags being offered amid city cleanup
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops says it’s over the worst of the flooding clean-up.
Utilites Manager Greg Wightmen says Thursday night’s sub-zero temperatures froze flooded water in numerous neighbourhoods, giving crews a chance to get ahead of clean-up efforts.
According to Wightmen, the Brocklehurst and North Shore have been crews main area of focus.
“A lot of the infrastructue out there relies on rock pits and the snow permeating into the ground. We were having some issues with that yesterday, some road flooding, minor property flooding damages and things like that but we’re getting well ahead of it now,” said Wightmen.
