Heavy thunderstorms moved through the watershed early this morning, bringing widespread rainfall of 30-45 mm. Silver Creek in Walkerton has overflowed its banks, and flooding has been observed upstream of Durham Street. Additional rainfall of 10-15 mm forecast for today, March 11th, could cause further flooding in this area. Debris has also been observed at road crossings which could worsen conditions.
Municipal staff should monitor culverts and bridges for debris blockages that could impede the flow of water. Residents along Silver Creek should monitor conditions closely and remain prepared for possible flooding. Localized flooding has also been observed along the Saugeen River at Lobies Park. The public is reminded to exercise caution near all flooded areas and watercourses. Stream and river flows will remain strong and hazardous, and riverbanks are likely to be unstable.
Saugeen Conservation staff will be closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update if conditions change. This message will remain in effect until Thursday, March 12th, 2026 at 4:30pm unless updated otherwise.
