NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
******************
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority advises that the Flood Outlook Statement issued March 18, 2019 is now downgraded to a Water Safety Statement. Water levels remain elevated after the recent snowmelt and are expected to remain high for the next several days. Where ice cover remains, there is still the risk of localized ice jams. The public and especially children are advised to stay away from all area water bodies as unstable ice cover, slippery banks and fast flowing watercourses will result in dangerous conditions.
No significant precipitation is forecast over the next few days, but water levels are expected to remain high as runoff moves through the watershed. No further flooding is anticipated, however local conditions may vary. At this time of year there is always the potential for localized flooding and ice jams.
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority continues to monitor river and stream conditions and will issue additional messages as conditions warrant. This statement will be in effect until 4:00 PM Wednesday, March 27, 2019.
