Flood Warning – February 20, 2018

Flood Warning – February 20, 2018

February 20, 2018

For Immediate Release                                                                                
Flood Warning for Residents of Catfish Creek Watershed
Issued on February 20th  at 4:50 a.m.
Issued by: Peter Dragunas, Water Management Technician
Catfish Creek Conservation Authority
(519) 773-9037

This is a FLOOD WARNING that flooding is imminent and dangerous water level conditions are occurring in low-lying areas of the Catfish Creek Watershed.

This is a WARNING that flooding is imminent / extremely possible or occurring.

Effective immediately, the Catfish Conservation Authority is issuing a Flood Warning for low lying areas within the watershed.  Due to heavy rain, density of the snowpack and a general warming trend there is a high potential for flooding to occur in low-lying areas of the watershed.  This Warning will remain in effect until 1200hrs Wednesday February 21st and will then expire or be adjusted accordingly.  Residents are asked to watch local conditions closely and take appropriate action.

Environment Canada weather forecast conditions, snowpack water equivalency and the deteriorating ice conditions on the Catfish Creek indicate that potentially high hazard situations exist.  Primary concerns are rapidly increasing creek levels and associated intensifying water flows.   Rapid flooding of low-lying areas, fields, adjacent park land, urban storm drains, small streams, creeks, or urban areas is imminent / extremely possible or occurring.  Creek levels are high and are expected to continue rising.

Levels have reached bank full in most areas throughout the watershed and will escalate over top of bank in low-lying flood prone areas. The public is encouraged to stay away from open bodies of water, and to keep children away from waterways during times of high water levels and flows.

Residents are asked to watch local conditions closely and take appropriate action. Updates will be made available if conditions warrant.

    PUBLIC NOTICE - ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS IN PORT BRUCE

    PUBLIC NOTICE

    ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS IN PORT BRUCE

    Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, request the co-operation of Port Bruce residents to remove all seasonal docks and support structures from the waters of Catfish Creek by December 15, 2023.  This request is to assist in reducing potential impacts as a result of flooding and/or in channel ice build-up.

     

    Leaving obstructions in the channel could accelerate ice build-up and adversely influence the movement of in channel ice through Port Bruce.  Channel flow patterns around obstructions may also accelerate creek-bank erosion during high run-off periods.  Boat docks dislodged due to flooding or ice jam events can pose a serious safety threat to the public.  In addition, we request that all other floatable objects such as; picnic tables, propane tanks, barrels, etc. are removed or secured within flood prone areas.

     

    Further inquiries relative to this matter may be directed to the attention of Mr. Peter Dragunas,

    Water Management Technician, Catfish Creek Conservation Authority, (519-773-9037 EXT 19).

     

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
