Flood Watch – May 18, 2020 – Event 14, Bulletin 3

May 18, 2020
Highlights:

  • 15 – 50 mm rain past 36 hours
  • Minor flooding
  • Road closures
Regions across the watershed have recorded rainfall amounts varying between 15 and 50 millimetres over the past 36 hours, with minimal amounts of rainfall forecasted this evening. Water levels are slowly rising across the watershed, with some locations experiencing minor flooding into natural floodplain areas. Waterworks Road from Moore Line to north of Courtright Line in St. Clair Township is closed due to flooding.

Rising water levels may impact the following roads:
Stanley Line between Kimball Road and Waubuno Road
Pretty Road north of McCallum Line

River banks are expected to be slippery, with possible minor erosion. Residents are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to 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 Wednesday, May 20, 2020, unless otherwise updated.
