Shuswap River rising, facilities closed

The City of Enderby has closed two public facilities due to rising levels on the Shuswap River.

Tuey Park and the Kildonan boat launch will be closed until further notice.

“Please do not use these facilities until the water levels have receded, at which point the Tuey Park access gate will be reopened and the barricades will be removed from the Kildonan boat launch,” city CAO Tate Bengtson stated.

Bengtson said the city is monitoring for flood conditions and will activate its emergency operations centre if conditions deteriorate and additional support is needed.

“The public is advised that the Shuswap River is flowing high and fast, with debris flows and other unpredictable hazards. Please use caution when on or near to it,” Bengtson added.
