There's a flood watch for Bulkley River including Ebenezer Flats.
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is advising residents there is potential for flooding.
During increased river flow situations it is difficult to predict flooding so the Regional District is requesting the public to refrain from being on or near the Bulkley River.
