The Catfish Creek Conservation Authority has issued a Flood Watch for residents of the Catfish Creek Watershed. Due to unseasonal weather conditions, rains, increased snowmelt and a warming trend, there is a potential for flooding to occur in flood prone areas of the watershed.
These adverse weather conditions indicate that potentially hazardous circumstances can exist, with primary concerns being increasing water levels and intensifying water flows.
The public is encouraged to exercise caution near open bodies of water, and to keep children away from waterways during Flood Watches and other times of high water flow. Residents are also asked to watch local conditions closely and take appropriate responsible action. This Flood Watch Statement will remain in effect until noon on Sunday.
