CH issues flood warning

With rain, rising temperatures and melting snow expected in the coming days, Conservation Halton is warning residents about potential flooding and recommending they be careful around rivers, streams, lakes and ponds at this time of year. With spring break set to start, Conservation Halton urges parents and caregivers to tell their children about the dangers that exist and not to go near water. Parents are also urged to ensure their kids are supervised when anywhere near water. The warmer temperatures and melting snow will result in increased water levels and speed of streams flow says the agency creating the potential for unsafe ice, slippery stream banks and flooding.
