Watershed Conditions Statement - December 29, 2022

Saugeen Conservation advises that forecast precipitation, unseasonably warm temperatures and associated snowmelt will likely result in higher-than-normal water levels across the watershed over the next few days.

While significant flooding is not expected, rivers could reach or exceed bankfull conditions, with minor flooding in traditional low-lying areas.

Residents are reminded to stay away from all watercourses. Cold water, gusty winds, and slippery and unstable stream banks will create hazardous conditions near all waterways.

Saugeen Conservation staff will closely monitor the situation and provide an update if conditions change. This message will remain in place until Monday January 2, 2023 at 12:00PM.
