Lumby Flooding Diminishes Over The Weekend

Things are getting back to normal out in Lumby after a rush of water Friday resulting from last Thursday evening’s storm.

Mayor Kevin Acton says water that flowed across part of Shuswap River Drive has receded and as the thaw continues there should be less water

“Exactly because there’s ice dams and snowbanks everywhere. So, as it thaws out it’s not really hitting the tributaries like it should. It will and I guess they’ve had some pumps running and it’s going down.”

Acton says it’s been going down more at night and coming up a bit in the day as the temperatures warm up.
