The water is running high and that has prompted a safety alert.
Duteau Creek’s reservoirs are at full capacity and all excess water from snow melt and rainfall will pass over the spillway structures at the dams.
“People living, working or recreating near creeks and streams should be aware that stream water levels may rise quickly during this time and should exercise caution around swift moving water,” said Zee Marcolin, utility operations manager with the Regional District of North Okanagan.
