City Keeping Close Eye On Water Levels











With the deluge of rain in the forecast, the City is warning residents in flood-prone areas to take precautions.

Municipal Operations will be monitoring the weather and clearing and maintaining drainage paths. Residents are advised to check eaves trough and drainage swales, as well catch basins or ditches on or near their property for debris.

Residents are advised to use caution when driving and to observe barricades and road closures. Police will be monitoring any flooded roads and taking appropriate measures, including enforcement.

Saint John Water will be monitoring water quality closely in the two surface water supplies – Latimer Lake and Spruce Lake.

Crews are completing maintenance work to ensure wastewater pumping stations and wastewater treatment facilities are ready for the heavy rain.
