Sandbags and sand available for West Kelowna residents as a precaution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday, June 13, 2022

As a precautionary measure, City crews are coordinating the delivery of sand and sandbags throughout the week of June 13 to waterfront locations in West Kelowna.

Although lake levels seem unlikely to surpass flood levels, lakefront properties may wish to protect their infrastructure affected by wave action from storms and boats.

The City stocks these supplies in the spring as a service to residents to help in cases where seasonal flooding has affected their properties in the past. Please bring your own shovels and wear gloves.

Staff will monitor and replenish stockpiles as needed at the following locations:

• Fire Station No. 33, 1805 Westlake Road

• Casa Loma Beach, 2606 Casa Loma Road

• Falcon Park, adjacent to 1339 Green Bay Road

• Sternwheeler Park, adjacent to 1649 Pritchard Drive
