The crest of the floodwaters has arrived. Waters are expected to remain dangerously high for a number of weeks, leaving many residents uncomfortably dependent upon sandbag dikes to keep their homes dry. With the river levels at such high levels, residents behind dikes are not the only ones at risk of property damage caused by the floodwaters. The majority of Winnipeg homes now sit prone to basement flooding as a result of sewer systems unable to operate at normal capacities due to the elevated river levels. Heavy rains are most unwelcome in Winnipeg during this critical period of flood management.
