City Crews Cleaning Up After Storm Activity
City of Williams Lake crews have been hard at work responding to the rapid accumulation of rain and hail from last night’s storm. Sweepers and loaders are currently cleaning and scraping affected roadways, with the majority of debris on North and South Broadway Avenue, North Mackenzie Avenue, and South Lakeside Drive.
A sweeper is downtown cleaning up the accumulated gravel at curbs and gutters.
Due to the rapid water load, a small number of manhole covers were dislodged, causing water to run down those streets. This has now been addressed, and the City anticipates that clean up and repairs will be completed by the end of the day.
For more information, contact City of Williams Lake Municipal Services Coordinator Cindy Walters at cwalters@williamslake.ca. or 250.392.1784.
