Much of downtown Bolton remains “severely flooded,” one day after rising waters from the Humber River prompted numerous evacuations, Ontario Provincial Police say.
On Friday night, police told CP24 that more than 1.5 metres of water was pooling on some roadways after the Humber River overflowed its banks near King and Queen streets following several days of mild temperatures and steady rain.
Speaking with CP24 late Friday night, Caledon Mayor Allan Thompson said that there are plans to bring in heavy equipment to break up those ice jams. OPP say that some residents have been told to leave their homes as a result of the flooding, though they have not provided an estimate on how many.
