    The Nooksack River has overflowed at Everson. The interreceptor dike system in Abbotsford is designed to direct this water to the Sumas River and then flow out to the Fraser River at the Barrowtown pump station floodbox. Updates at chilliwack.com/floodwatch.

    Our new bike lane sweeper has arrived, and crews are putting it to work! This sweeper is designed to sweep behind traffic delineators. Report issues online at my.chilliwack.com or through the free City of Chilliwack app.

    Thank you to our local contractors that have dropped everything to help get Chilliwack roads repaired after flooding and landslides. They are working around the clock at multiple locations and their dedication to our community is greatly appreciated.
