Water Safety, Watershed Conditions Statement – December 10, 2021

Water Safety, Watershed Conditions Statement – December 10, 2021

December 10, 2021

website builders For Immediate Release
Water Safety, Watershed Condition Statement for Residents of Catfish Creek Watershed
Issued on December 10, 2021 at 11:30 a.m.
Issued by: Peter Dragunas, Water Management Technician
Catfish Creek Conservation Authority
(519) 773-9037

This is a Water Safety, Watershed Conditions Statement indicating that high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could be dangerous for users. Flooding is not expected.

Flood Status Water Safety

Forecast calls for heavy at rain at times. Rainfall amounts of up to 25 to 45 mm are expected in the area.  Strong winds gusting between 70 and 90 km/h beginning Friday evening and continuing into Saturday.

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 about average within the Catfish Creek watershed.  No major flooding is expected at this time but water levels may rise and may continue to remain higher during this forecast period.  Due to these increased adverse weather conditions there is a potential for higher water 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 Monday December 13, 2021 at 8 a.m. and will be adjusted accordingly if warranted or otherwise expire.  Residents are asked to closely watch local conditions and take appropriate responsible action.  Updates will be made available if conditions warrant.
