Flood Warning March 26, 2025

Message # 2025-07
Issued: 2:15 pm., Wednesday March 26, 2025

Flood Watch - Issued to residents throughout the jurisdiction of Otonabee Conservation.  

Significant rain is expected to start Friday and continue through the weekend into Monday. This will cause flooding in low lying, flood-prone areas along the Trent-Severn Waterway and local watercourses. Flooding has started in some areas due to the recent snow melt and precipitation. The forecasted 40 to 60 mm of rain expected this weekend will further increase water levels and flow.

People should avoid all recreational activities in, on or around water and should stay away from shorelines as they can be slippery and unstable. Residents are advised to monitor conditions and take appropriate action to protect themselves and their property from flooding.

Water levels can be monitored at Trent-Severn Waterway, Water Survey of Canada and Otonabee Conservation websites.
