The city of West Kelowna is in the final stages of flood recovery and City crews have now completed sandbag removal from all public properties.

Any area resident who has sandbags remaining on their property or docks are asked to have them to the curbside by end of day Monday, Aug. 7. A small cleanup crew will sweep neighbourhoods Aug. 8 and 9 to conduct final sandbag removal. Homeowners will be responsible for disposal of any remaining sandbags after this date.

Detached orphaned dock removal is ongoing by barge and will take several weeks to complete. Clearly mark items for removal with bright paint or flagging tape.

The city has conducted an assessment of all public property that has been impacted by this spring’s flooding and work has begun to clean and repair these areas. Residents of West Kelowna will see crews working in parks, boulevards and roadways over the coming weeks.
