Water Levels to Rise with Warm Temperatures and Rain this Week
Both the UTRCA and St. Clair Conservation Authorities have issued Watershed Conditions Statements - Flood Outlooks.
They expect water levels to begin gradually rising this week as temperatures rise and snow melts, with the highest flows in most water courses likely occurring late Friday and into Saturday. Water levels are expected to remain elevated into next week.

The public is reminded to use extreme caution near all local waterways. Stream banks may be slippery and unstable, and the water is very cold and fast-moving. Any ice cover will be weakened and unstable. Ice on flood control reservoirs is especially hazardous due to fluctuating water levels.
Stay out of any flooded areas and do not drive through flooded roadways.
