Sandbags available for RDCO electoral area residents
Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral area property owners may pick up sandbags at:
- Ellison Fire Department – Station 61 – 4411 Old Vernon Road
- Joe Rich Fire Rescue
- Station 51 – 11481 Highway 33 (Update June 16 - sand and sandbags are available at this location)
- Station 52 – 6550 Goudie Road - sandbags are available at this location
- Wilson’s Landing Fire Department – 2396 Westside Road
Property owners are responsible for having an emergency plan and the tools and equipment needed to protect their properties. As well, in these areas they are responsible for providing their own sand and filling the bags.
Sand and bags have been available since March for North Westside residents to proactively protect their properties in an area with increased overland flooding risk after last year’s White Rock Lake wildfire. Self-serve sand and sandbag stations are available at two North Westside fire halls:
- Killiney Beach main hall Station 101 – 514 Udell Road
- Westside Road Station 102 - 7355N Westside Road North
Residents are responsible for filling sandbags to use in protecting their property. The supply will be replenished as needed.
Property owners in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral areas are encouraged to check ditches and driveway access culverts to ensure proper runoff. If you have any concerns, please contact AIMRoads 1-866-222-4204.
