Next WLLID Board meeting, 9th September at 7pm, Community Hall, lower level. Residents welcome to observe.

As of June 8, 2026, the water level at Wasa was 769.07 masl which is 1.555m (5 feet 1 inch) higher than on the same day last year.

Over the past 7 days the water has risen 1.00 meter (3 feet 3.5 in.).

Currently, the water is already 1.225 meters (4 feet) higher than the peak level last year.

Kootenay River is down another 29cm (11.5 inches). Since its peak around May 30, the river has dropped 2.85 meters (9 feet 4 inches). This will reduce the rate at which water at Wasa continues rising.

If the river does not rise again, then the level at Wasa is nearing its peak.

Water level updates will be posted on the WLLID website every few days.
