Flood Forecasting and Outlook

Public Notice - Flood Forecasting and Outlook

Due to the significant amount of snow this winter season. There is a high potential for flooding based on the snow accumulation and potential heavy rain, snow melt, high wind and other conditions that could lead to high runoff, cause ice jams and flooding or erosion in spring.

The Township will be placing sand and sandbags at the end of Park Road, at the intersection of Simcoe Street / Water Street, and the Angus Firehall in early spring.

The Public Works Department will be monitoring the weather and make the materials available as the snow begins to melt in early spring.
