Rising creek waters earlier in the week inundated parts of the village, flowing through its firehall, flooding several businesses and temporarily closing both Highway 1 and Highway 97. “The water is staying in the channel now,” said Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta. “And it doesn’t seem to be flowing around or through the firehall the way it was the last few days.”
MLA Jackie Tegart, whose Fraser-Nicola constituency includes Cache Creek, met with town residents Saturday.“People are tired,” said Tegart. “Holy cow, are they tired.”In the meantime, about half of B.C. remained under flood watch, warning or advisory on Sunday.
