Flood Watch Issued

Flood Watch Issued for local watercourses within the jurisdiction of Otonabee Conservation, excluding the Trent-Severn Waterway.

Significant rain showers and warmer temperatures starting Friday, March 6, to Wednesday, March 11, may cause:

  • Rapidly increasing water levels and flows, creating the potential for flooding
  • Overland flow and ponding of water on roads, in low-lying areas and locations with poor drainage
  • Weakening ice cover and possible breakup. 

Residents along the shores of local watercourses, especially those located in low-lying areas, are strongly encouraged to watch for increasing water levels, and take action to limit or prevent damage in case of flooding.
