You might not be able to beat city hall, but the rain is willing to give it a shot.

Saturday was the rainiest Aug. 19 since Environment Canada started keeping records in 1942, with Yellowknife soaking up 28.6 mm.

And when the rain came down, it rushed right into city hall and the library.

SA国际影视传媒淲e had a little bit of leakage that came in here over the weekend,SA国际影视传媒� said senior administrative officer Sheila Bassi-Kellett, who said a blockage in one of the drains on the roof caused the leak at city hall.

On Monday, city staff were relocated within the building and the city's webcast service was unavailable.

As well, during Monday's municipal services committee meeting, audio-visual equipment to allow presenters to broadcast presentations on large screens was not working.

SA国际影视传媒淲e're working to get everything back up and running as quickly as we can,SA国际影视传媒� said Bassi-Kellett.

She wasn't able to give a definitive timeline for when all the repairs will be complete, or a final bill for how much it will cost, saying only that the city expects to have a SA国际影视传媒渓ittle bit of supportSA国际影视传媒� from its insurer.

Meanwhile, at the Yellowknife Public Library, the weekend rain caused a leak in the ceiling from one of the balconies attached to condos above the library.

SA国际影视传媒�(We) had some tiles damaged and a little bit of stains on the carpet, but no books or computers or anything like that damaged. So we're all good,SA国际影视传媒� said library manager John Mutford. SA国际影视传媒淲e're still waiting for the roof outside to be fixed.SA国际影视传媒�

Once the roof is fixed, the library will replace the tiles and finish repairs inside.

The library has been operating out of its current location in Centre Square Mall since 1990.

So far, Mutford said he's lucky nothing from the library's collection of around 60,000 items have been damaged.

SA国际影视传媒淲e've been very fortunate in that the leaks that we've had tend to be when staff has been here,SA国际影视传媒� he said, adding staff have plastic tarps to drape over materials and a list of numbers to call for the upstairs condos should there be a problem.
