WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT – August 2, 2022

For Immediate Release

Consistent with the Ontario Low Water Response criteria, the Catfish Creek Conservation Authority (CCCA) is issuing a Level I Low Water Condition for the Catfish Creek watershed. The Ontario Low Water Response indicators identify that Catfish Creek precipitation indicators coupled with the channel flow indicators are below the required Provincial seasonal average thresholds for a Level I.

A 10% voluntary reduction in water use is being advised to ensure that there remains an adequate supply for essential uses and to sustain aquatic life.  Reducing residential non-essential water use and utilization of Best Management Practices, Irrigation Management is recommended to help lessen the impact on water resources.

The CCCA is continuing to monitor water levels and precipitation, and will provide updates when available.

As a reminder, if landowners take water (>50,000L) from either surface water or groundwater sources (sand points, wells, pumping directly from the streams or ponds) to irrigate; they are at all times required to obtain a permit from the Ministry of the Environment.  If conditions continue to deteriorate, further regulation of surface and groundwater takings may be considered.

    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.
