Lake is still 74 cms above full pool
Okanagan Lake's water level has dropped again, but the threat from flooding remains.
Emergency officials say the latest reading puts the lake at 74 cms above full pool – this morning it was at 343.218 metres – down 1.9 cms from Tuesday. Kalamalka Lake was also down 1.5 centimetres.
With high wind the next couple of days – officials are reminding residents to check sandbags daily and if needed, repair, replace and fortify barriers.
For now, all flood protections should remain in place until the Emergency Operations Centre issues notices on when they can be removed – the EOC says it's close to finalizing a plan for regional recovery and will make an announcement soon.
The Emergency Operation Centre advises that the previously issued Evacuation Alert for 3550 Woodsdale Road (Emerald Point) in Lake Country has been lifted.
All other Evacuation Orders and Alerts remain. Check out the map at www.cordemergency.ca/map and search by address to determine if an area is under alert or order, or to find the closest sand and sandbag locations.
For information on water quality advisories – and on boat launch, park and beach closures – you can check the region's municipal websites such as www.kelowna.ca or www.cordemergency.ca
