ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A judge has certified a class-action lawsuit alleging destruction in the November 2021 atmospheric river flooding in the Fraser Valley was magnified by improper operations of a pump station.
Court documents say the certification means others affected by the flooding can join the lawsuit against Abbotsford for allegedly failing"to close the flood boxes at the pump station." The lawsuit says operators at the pump station did not close the flood boxes during the 2021 atmospheric river event, leading to water from the Fraser River flooding back into Sumas Prairie, which was a 40-square-kilometre lake before being drained in the 1920s.
In the documents, the City of Abbotsford says that, while it acknowledges"many residents of the city suffered substantial upheaval and property damage," the flooding in Sumas Prairie was caused by the nearby Nooksack River and not the Fraser.
