Flood Watch

Water levels across the watershed remain high and continue to rise due to the rain and warmer temperatures over the past four days. Recent rainfall amounts and snow melt are causing an increase in runoff into watercourses. Water levels are expected to stabilize in the lower reaches of the watershed by tomorrow afternoon.  

 The following roads have been closed due to flooding: 

• • • Stanley Line between Kimball Road and Waubuno Road 
    • Plowing Match Road between Rokeby Line and Petrolia Line 
    • Black Ash Road between Durham Creek Line and Rokeby Line 
    • Gypsie Flats Road between Durham Creek Line and Rokeby Line 

Individuals are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to dangerous conditions, slippery banks and cold, swift moving water. Children and pets should be kept away from the water.  

The Conservation Authority continues to monitor watershed conditions and will issue advisories to municipalities and media should flood issues arise.  

Municipal emergency response staff and road superintendents should monitor local conditions closely. 

This message will remain in effect until Monday, January 29, 2024, unless otherwise updated.
