Canada: Heavy Floods grip southeast Saskatchewan
Global News: Saturday, June 18, 2011
Heavy rainfall across Saskatchewan has made for a messy start to the weekend. Several communities have declared states of emergency including Weyburn, Estevan, Yellowgrass and Radville.
In Weyburn, a precautionary boil water advisory is in effect after flash flooding and a lift issue at the waste water treatment plant caused sewage backup in the city.
More than four inches feel in a very short period of time last night causing the Souris River to spill over the highway into the city. Residents of the trailer park were evacuated this morning, some by boat. The Red Cross is assisting at a shelter opened for residents who had sewage backup into their homes. Mayor Debbie Button says they don't believe the river has peaked, and are asking for ‘all hands on deck’ to help sandbag.
Meanwhile, Estevan is bracing for more flooding after word the watershed authority will be releasing more water from the Rafferty and Boundary dams thanks to yesterday’s rainfall.
A state of emergency has been declared, as well as an evacuation alert for willow park green trailer park. The alert may become an 'order' later today.
Residents who require more information can call the emergency line at 306 634 1855.
