Water Levels On The Rise

It’s a wet morning in Chatham-Kent.

Heavy rain pelted the already saturated ground overnight, leaving areas of standing water on some local roads.

Officials say a Texas Low is to blame as it tracks across southern Ontario.

Meantime, Lake Erie continues to rise.

According to the LTVCA, average water levels this week are up about 8 cm from last week’s average, and about 9 cm from where they were this time last year.

Minor flooding is expected on Rondeau Bay, particularly affecting residents on the east-facing shore.
