Update:
High water levels of Deep Creek is the reason a property 20 kilometres north of Williams Lake remains under evacuation alert.
“It is due to undercutting caused by Deep Creek being so high,” said Stuart Larson, manager of protection services for the Cariboo Regional District on Friday morning. “Like many other waterways, Deep Creek is running high and fast.”
