Local conservation officials are keeping a close eye on area waterways.
The St Clair Region Conservation Authority says the Sydenham River is about 35 cm higher than usual, all thanks to record high water levels on Lakes Huron, Erie, and St Clair over the last four to six months.
Water levels on lakes undergo cyclical patterns over the course of a year, with levels often peaking in the summer months of July and August.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the US Army Corps of Engineers are forecasting the Lake Huron water level to surpass its record high in July.
Residents along the Lake Huron and St. Clair shorelines, as well as the St. Clair River and those in Wallaceburg, can expect the high water to continue to swell over the next few weeks or so.
