Concern over rising water levels isn91裸聊视频檛 dampening spirits in Penticton over the May long weekend.

91裸聊视频淭he market was packed yesterday. There are people out walking and enjoying the sun,91裸聊视频 said Diana Stirling, owner of the LocoLanding Amusement Park.

She91裸聊视频檚 concerned that potential visitors might be worried flooding concerns have affected Penticton facilities and businesses.

91裸聊视频淭here is a tremendous amount of calls from people outside Penticton, asking if we are open because they think Penticton has been affected by the flooding, and we actually don91裸聊视频檛 have any,91裸聊视频 said Stirling.

Peter Weeber, the city91裸聊视频檚 chief administrative officer, said Penticton has instituted a flood watch on areas of concern, like around the city91裸聊视频檚 iconic SS Sicamous, but there is no flooding yet.

91裸聊视频淲e still have a fair amount of room there. We91裸聊视频檝e been out there sandbagging and preparing for a rise beyond where we are now. I think we have about six inches and then we are going to have to start doing something,91裸聊视频 said Weeber. 91裸聊视频淚n order to get six more inches, that91裸聊视频檚 a lot of water. We are feeling pretty good, but we are continuing to monitor everything.91裸聊视频

Other low-lying areas of concern include a small area near Okanagan Lake Park, Rotary Park and the Lakeside Resort, operations haven91裸聊视频檛 been affected.

91裸聊视频淧enticton is open for business. All our beaches are open and all our amenities like LocoLanding and the SS Sicamous. They just had a wedding there yesterday afternoon and it is right in the highest water area,91裸聊视频 said Weeber. 91裸聊视频淲e have to prepare for this sort of thing and we have to keep the community up to date, but right now we are doing really well compared to places like Oliver and other places in the Okanagan.91裸聊视频

Stirling said there is no reason for visitors to be concerned.

91裸聊视频淭hey (city officials) are really just managing and making us feel safe and looked after so we can be open,91裸聊视频 said Stirling. 91裸聊视频淲e are not affected by the water at all.91裸聊视频
