​The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority has issued a Watershed Conditions Statement in effect until April 6. Due to the recent rainfall, higher than normal water levels and flows within local streams and rivers are expected to persist over the next few days due to saturated soil conditions and snowmelt.

While widespread flooding is not expected, the possibility for flooding in various low-lying areas of the watershed exists. Watercourses will be flowing higher than normal causing local streams and rivers to become dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts and bridges. Children should be warned to stay away from all watercourses.
