Water levels are still rising, which is causing flooding in low lying roads, parkland, and nearby properties. In some areas, flooded roads could limit access, and a small number of properties may see water approaching homes. For your safety: • Avoid rivers, streams, and other watercourses where flows are high • Stay well back from shorelines, as banks may be unstable • Parents and caregivers: please talk to children about the dangers and supervise them closely near all waterbodies

Starting Monday, March 9, 2026, seasonal load restrictions will be in effect to protect municipal roads during the spring thaw. Vehicles exceeding posted half-load limits require a permit, and fines may apply if one is not obtained.
