SDG COUNTIES, Ontario - The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is extending the Water Safety Statement for its jurisdiction.
While water levels throughout the region have returned to normal for this time of year, fast flows, unstable banks, and melting or unstable ice may continue to create hazardous conditions near waterways across the RRCA jurisdiction.
Rain is expected this week, beginning the evening of Wednesday, March 25, and continuing through Thursday, March 26, resulting in a possible 20 mm of total precipitation. This may lead to short-term increases in water levels; however, widespread river flooding is not anticipated at this time.
In North Glengarry: The RRCA is actively monitoring and managing lake levels at Loch Garry, Middle Lake, and Mill Pond to reduce the potential for flooding. Water levels in the Garry River, downstream of these lakes, may rise suddenly as part of necessary water level management.
This statement remains in effect until Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 4 p.m. The RRCA will continue monitoring water levels and weather forecasts as part of its Flood Forecasting and Warning program. Updates will be provided as conditions change.
