Mayor Kandis Jameson says that residents are allowed back to the town, but many areas are still without basic services, like water, sewer services and power.

Though the worst of the flooding in Hay River, N.W.T., has passed, the community still isn’t ready for residents to return.

In an update Friday afternoon, the town said it will provide a detailed update within two days. Until then, only recovery workers are being allowed in. For areas of the town without sewer, that service has to be fixed before residents can return.
