High waves on Okanagan Lake Thursday afternoon caused erosion on the northern part of Mill Road in Naramata, forcing 11 homes to be evacuated for safety reasons.
The evacuation involves: 4620, 4625, 4640, 4765, 4775, 4785, 4805, 4835, 4845, 4855, 4865 Mill Road.
Erosion lakeside has increased the potential danger to life, health and property damage at the affected homes, according to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen.
Water was also shut off to homes north of 4395 Mill Road, but those residents can still stay and are not affected by the order.
