North Shuswap residents keeping an eye on lake level
SCOTCH CREEK, BC — As summer approaches and the weather continues to heat up, the possibility of flooding remains a possibility for many residents who live near the water. For residents in the North Shuswap, they only need to look back to 2012 to remember the most recent high water event. Scotch Creek residents are keeping a close eye on the water level in Shuswap Lake, and hoping for cooperation from Mother Nature.
Larry Morgan remembers the last time the water in Shuswap Lake was high enough to threaten his lakefront home
In 2012, “it peaked around the 3rd week in June that year,” Morgan remembers.
