Hundreds of people in the Seymour Arm community of British Columbia's North Shuswap region are without water after a mudslide destroyed vital infrastructure there Thursday evening. Seymour Arm water manager Bob Reimer said the mudslide on Long Ridge wiped out the diversion structure for Bass Creek, which feeds water to about 200 households. Crews are currently assessing the damage and hope to have a temporary system back in place in a few days, Reimer said. Park benches are flooded by water from the Fraser River in Langley on Friday. The district is warning residents to exercise extreme caution around fast-moving water, riverbanks and lake shorelines.
