WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT – February 8, 2023

WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT – February 8, 2023

February 8, 2023

CATFISH CREEK CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
WATER SAFETY
WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT

For Immediate Release
Water Safety, Watershed Condition Statement for Residents of Catfish Creek Watershed
Issued on February 8, 2023 at 11:30 a.m.
Issued by: Peter Dragunas, Water Management Technician
Catfish Creek Conservation Authority
(519) 773-9037

Flood Status Water SafetyThis is a Water Safety, Watershed Conditions Statement indicating that high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could be dangerous for users such as anglers, boaters, winter sports, children or pets. Flooding is not expected.

Effective immediately, the Catfish Creek Conservation Authority is issuing a Water Safety, Watershed Conditions Statement for flood prone low-lying areas adjacent to watercourses within the Catfish Creek watershed and its tributaries.  At present stream flow and water levels are at average within the Catfish Creek watershed.  The snowpack is reaching saturation and may not absorb the forecast precipitation.  The ground is frozen in some areas and has a limited ability to absorb any rainfall/snowmelt that is forecast on Thursday throught to Friday. As a result, infiltration of the forecast snowmelt/rainfall may be limited and runoff has the potential to quickly elevate water levels within the watershed.  Water levels are expected to rise and may continue to remain elevated during the latter part of this week.  Due to these increased adverse weather conditions, there is a potential for higher water and sporadic ice flows resulting in unsafe channel bank conditions and other unpredictable dangers around waterways within the Catfish Creek watershed.  Anglers, boaters, children, pets and people intending to undertake any recreational activities around watercourses need to abstain from these areas during these conditions.

The public is encouraged to exercise extreme caution near open bodies of water, and to keep children away from waterways during times of increased water flow.  Landowners are advised to check dams, culverts, and catch basins and make sure they are free from debris and functioning as intended during high water situations.

CCCA will continue to monitor watershed conditions and will issue updates and recommendations as necessary.  CCCA always recommends taking any necessary precautions to minimize the results of flood impacts of the Catfish Creek and its tributaries.

This Watershed Conditions Statement will remain in effect until further notice and will be adjusted accordingly if warranted.  Residents are asked to closely watch local conditions and take appropriate responsible action.  Updates will be made available when and if conditions warrant.
