The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority has upgraded its Flood Watch to a Flood Warning.
Water levels and flows are elevated across the MVCA jurisdiction. The combination of snowmelt from warmer temperatures and recent precipitation has led to a significant rise in water levels and flows in the catchment area.
Rivers and streams are experiencing elevated water levels, fast-moving water and slippery or unstable banks. Flows on the Clyde River may have culminated but will remain high throughout the period.
Flows within the Indian and Carp Rivers appear to have peaked and are expected to trend downward.
Lake levels continue to rise as the remaining snowmelt enters the watershed and combines with current precipitation.
Residents, their children and pets should avoid slippery banks and fast-moving streams.
If you are in a flood-prone area, take appropriate steps to protect your property.
This message is in effect until 12:00 pm, April 11th, or until an update has been issued.
