Spallumcheen has activated an emergency operations centre as it deals with high water.
The centre is located at the municipal office at 4144 Spallumcheen Way.
“The township is managing localized flooding mitigation,” said Cindy Graves, deputy corporate officer.
Closed and resident traffic only roads include:
• Powerhouse Road (resident traffic only)
• Demorest Road (closed)

“Anyone who is concerned that water is threatening a structure on their property due to overflowing ditches should contact the municipal office at 250-546-3013,” said Graves.
“If water is not a threat to structures, the township requests that residents wait for water to naturally dissipate as
resources are limited.
