Flood Watches Continue Across CK

Local conservation authorities are keeping close tabs on area waterways.

While the bulk of the rain seems to be behind us, there is the chance for more showers today and tomorrow.

Officials say with all the heavy rainfall over the last week, the ground is saturated and really can’t absorb any more water.

The St Clair Region Conservation Authority says there has been some minor flooding in Wallaceburg, but the river isn’t high enough to operate the McKeough Dam. Officials will continue to monitor the water conditions.

Meantime, the LTVCA says major tributaries of the Thames River remain quite high throughout the region, and tributaries like McGregor and Indian Creek are near bank full conditions.
