Residents living near Ethel Street and Burne Avenue are concerned rising water from Mill Creek will soon flood over the bank and endanger their properties.

Emergency Program Coordinator Travis Whiting says the area floods annually and is carefully watched by the City of Kelowna.

The city hopes to have a better sense on the situation of the rising creek water by the end of the week, although Whiting says what香蕉视频直播檚 needed is more sunshine.

香蕉视频直播淭his rain isn香蕉视频直播檛 helping and we could use a few days of sun to dry things up.香蕉视频直播�

Over the next 24 hours crews will work to see what is causing the most issues with Mill Creek, whether it香蕉视频直播檚 debris in the water or building up the banks to stop flooding.

香蕉视频直播淲e have been monitoring creeks in Kelowna carefully as we get spring runoff and overall creeks aren香蕉视频直播檛 that high compared to years past,香蕉视频直播� says Whiting. 香蕉视频直播淢ill Creek is of the most concern right now; however at the opening mouth of the creek we are still in good shape.香蕉视频直播�

Residents concerned over localized flooding can contact the fire department to get sand. Sandbags are free but must be filled by residents.

Whitings says crews will be in the Ethel area all week to keep a close eye on the situation.
