Please see updates by the local conservation authorities below:

Kawartha Conservation

Kawartha Conservation has extended its Flood Warning for the Kawartha Lakes region from Thursday, April 17 through Tuesday, April 22, due to rising water levels from recent precipitation. Shoreline flooding is possible, especially along low-lying areas, as major rivers continue to contribute high inflows. Residents are advised to use extreme caution around all watercourses.

Otonabee Conservation

The Flood Warning will remain in effect for the Trent-Severn Waterway, within the jurisdiction of Otonabee Conservation, as flooding of low-lying, flood-prone areas is occurring and expected to continue through next week. Warm temperatures are in the forecast this week, as well as the potential for 20 to 30mm of rainfall from Friday to Sunday.

However, the Flood Risk for local watercourses (Ouse River, Indian River and tributaries to the Otonabee River) have been downgraded to a Flood Watch as water levels and flows have decreased in those areas. Read full notice.
