The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is issuing a Watershed Conditions Statement - Water Safety for the Maitland and Nine Mile River watersheds.
Due to warm temperatures and rain in the forecast, Maitland Valley Conservation want residents in the two watersheds to be mindful and aware of water levels over the next week.
The extent of flooding will depend on how much rain falls on Monday evening. Currently the forecast is for 10 to 15 mm of rain. If rainfall is under 15 mm, watercourses are expected to be bankfull with flooding restricted to traditional flood prone areas. If rainfall exceeds 15 mm, it could lead to significant flooding.
Municipal staff will monitor the situation with the Watershed Conditions Statement in effect until Friday, March 13th.
