The snow pack at Summerland’s reservoirs remains higher than normal, according to the latest measurements taken by water department workers.
The measurements, compiled earlier this week, show a snow pack of 857 millimetres at Summerland Reservoir.
This works out to the equivalent of 239 millimetres of water, or 106 per cent of the 71-year average.
At Isintok Lake, the snow pack was 768 millimetres, or the equivalent of 200 millmetres of water.
The snow pack at Isintok Lake is 112 per cent of the 46-year average.
Scott Lee, water operations manager for Summerland, said the numbers are encouraging.
“We’re going to fill the reservoirs. There’s no question about that at all,” he said.
By April 1, 95 per cent of the winter snow pack has reached the ground.
While this year’s water supply is adequate, Lee said flooding could occur if the temperature rises suddenly and the creeks and reservoirs are pushed beyond capacity.
