NORTH BATTLEFORD - The deluge of rain that hit North Battleford Monday night was enough to cause major issues for at least a couple of businesses.
Walmart on Carlton Trail reported they had to close June 13 for the rest of the night, due to leaks beyond their control in the building.
On Tuesday, June 14, they reported Walmart would reopen as of 11:15 a.m., however some areas of the store remained closed: fashion, shoes and Infants. Customers were asked to respect the closures, which could be in other areas of the store as well.
Meanwhile, OK Tire reported that they were impacted as well. On Facebook, they announced they were closed due to flooding.
“We are deeply saddened to let all our customers know we will be closed the next few days due to some major flooding at the store last night. Please message with any questions or concerns. We will get back to you shortly. We do again apologize.”
The City of North Battleford reports the community experienced a one-in-100-year rainstorm over a six-hour period of time. The rain gauge at City Hall indicated they received 10 centimetres of rain, while Fairview Heights Reservoir recorded 8.56 centimetres..
