Cache Creek prepares for more high water next week
CACHE CREEK, BC — The water came hard and fast on Friday night – with both Cache Creek and the Bonaparte River spilling their banks around 6:45 pm, prompting the Village of Cache Creek to declare a state of local emergency.
“Cache Creek overflowed its banks and was running over the road and down the highway towards the Husky station,” Mayor John Ranta recounted.
On Saturday morning the water had receded, but mud and debris covered the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 97.
