Electricity was lost to about 6000 BC Hydro customers because a power pole was undermined by flooding from nearby Smith Creek and will have to be relocated.
The City of West Kelowna has closed Gellatly Road from the Witt Road to Boucherie Road intersections because of the power pole work.
And Powers Creek has also overflowed its banks and flooded a section of Gellatly Road near the marina.
