About 85 homes evacuated due to Bolton flooding
Last Updated Saturday, March 16, 2019 2:10PM EDT
Emergency officials initially ordered the evacuation of about 45 homes but then at 1:30 a.m. they opted to extend the evacuation order south to cover another 40 or so homes. “We already know that there are several basements that are filled right to the top with water so that will not be a couple days out; that will be months,” he told reporters early Saturday afternoon.Contractors using heavy equipment were able to break up three of the ice jams overnight and are now focusing their efforts on a fourth and final ice jam, which Bailey said was initially difficult to access due to some trees and other woodland in the area.
Caledon Mayor Allan Thompson, however, told CP24 on Saturday morning that the neighbourhood around the Humber River downtown is still considered a “disaster area” for now.
