Residents are urged to stay away from fast-moving rivers and streams
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Sault Ste. Marie/Blind River District, is advising residents to keep a close watch on water conditions, check for updated messages and stay away from fast-moving rivers and streams.
Residents of the Sault Ste. Marie /Blind River District area should keep a close watch on water conditions, regularly check for updated messages and stay away from fast-moving rivers and streams. Forecasted warm temperatures and heavy precipitation have accelerated the melting of the remaining snowpack in the northern reaches of the watershed producing additional runoff and increasing levels and flows. Currently water levels and flows for the Goulais River are below flood critical threshold parameters but rising rapidly. Residents of the Goulais watershed area are advised that some low lying areas may reach flood critical levels within the next 24 hour period.
