\"\"<\/a>The Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority would like to issue\u00a0a watershed conditions\u00a0statement\u00a0to residents\u00a0regarding\u00a0current watershed conditions.<\/p>\n

\n

A\u00a0slow moving,\u00a0low pressure system\u00a0is\u00a0approaching from the US Midwest\u00a0bringing\u00a0precipitation\u00a0overnight\u00a0and Tuesday night\u00a0across\u00a0the watershed.\u00a0General rainfall amounts of 30 to 40 mm are likely. Localized higher amounts could reach 60-100 mm by Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a0local rivers, creeks and streams are flowing at normal levels.\u00a0Forecasted\u00a0rainfall\u00a0will cause levels and flows to rise across the watershed.\u00a0There may be localized flooding in areas with poor drainage.<\/p>\n

The flood control channels owned and maintained by the Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority are currently flowing at normal levels. The flood control channels will experience a rise in water levels. It is important to remember that the water in rivers, streams and the channels will be fast flowing during and after the rainfall event.<\/p>\n

The Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority will continue to closely monitor stream flows across the watershed.<\/p>\n

The Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority would like to extend a warning\u00a0for\u00a0residents and visitors to use extreme caution when close to rivers,\u00a0creeks\u00a0and streams. High water levels and flows can be especially dangerous and stream banks can be slippery. Please\u00a0keep\u00a0children\u00a0and pets\u00a0away from fast flowing rivers and streams.<\/p>\n

This statement is in effect until\u00a0June\u00a026, 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
