Parts of Penticton Avenue have been washed out Sunday evening. Penticton Creek is flowing very fast but some residents of the street say the road wash out is being caused by a broken watermain.

Traffic on Penticton Avenue is being rerouted to allow for repairs.
“With heavy rains in the region this weekend, there has been an increase in stream flows on both Penticton and Ellis Creeks. Residents are asked to exercise caution near fast moving waters,” said the city in a press release tonight.
Water is flowing down Penticton Avenue, which runs beside Penticton Creek. One part of the road appears to have buckled.
