BURLINGTON, ON

Conservation Halton advises that over the past 48 hours, total rainfall of 15-45 mm has been measured across the watershed. Environment Canada is currently forecasting showers with the risk of thunderstorms this afternoon through Thursday night. As a result, saturated ground conditions will increase water runoff from additional rainfall and contribute to further elevated water levels in creeks within our jurisdiction.

Creek water levels are higher.

Widespread flooding is not anticipated, however, fast flowing water and flooding of low-lying areas, natural floodplains, and areas with poor drainage may be expected.

Conservation Halton is asking all residents and children to keep a safe distance from all watercourses and structures such as bridges, culverts, and dams. Elevated water levels, fast flowing water, and cold water temperatures, combined with slippery conditions along stream banks continue to make these locations extremely dangerous. Please alert children in your care of these imminent dangers.

 Conservation Halton will continue to monitor stream and weather conditions and will issue an update to this Watershed Conditions Statement – Flood Outlook message as conditions warrant.

This Watershed Conditions Statement – Flood Outlook will be in effect through Sunday April 19, 2026.
