The municipality is taking the rarely used measure of convening an emergency council meeting Friday night.
In a release from the city, municipal officials believe ‘There is an elevated possibility of failure of a portion of Erie Shore Drive dike.’
As a result, Chatham-Kent Council will hold a special meeting Friday, February 28 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the issue. All residents of Erie Shore Drive and Erieau are urged to attend.
Residents along Erie Shore Drive who feel they cannot shelter in place and require emergency accommodation can call the Chatham-Kent Homeless Response Line at 519-354-6628.
They should advise that they currently live on Erie Shore Drive.
Additional information will be made available at tomorrow’s council meeting.
