As the threat of flooding steadily decreases in some areas of Kelowna, more flood barriers will continue to be broken down.
Emergency crews in Kelowna will be focusing on Marshall Street today, where they will be busy breaking down sandbags.
According to Laura Wilson, communications officer for Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre, flood mitigation will be removed from both private property and city installations.
Wilson says people who may be anxious to have sandbags removed before crews arrive can take those to the Cook Road boat launch where they will be dealt with.
As the flood danger along most creeks has receded, the same is not yet true for Okanagan Lake.
The lake remains at historic high levels, and will for several weeks to come.
The lake's slow decline did continue over the past 24 hours. The lake has dropped 1.5 centimetres since Tuesday morning to 343.162 metres above sea level.
