Downgrade to flood watch for Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario

Quinte Conservation is downgrading from a flood warning to a flood watch for the Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario Shorelines within the Quinte Conservation Watershed.

Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine McClure said Lake Ontario water levels have declined more than 60 centimetres since the lake peaked near the end of May.

“Most residential dwellings are no longer impacted by high water. However, shoreline areas may still be susceptible to erosion during periods of high waves and strong winds.”

Shoreline residents are reminded that any work near the water will require a permit from Quinte Conservation and should call the office or visit the website for more information. Quinte Conservation staff can provide advice on shoreline protection.

“Quinte Conservation staff will continue to monitor conditions,” as the watch remains in effect until (or updated before) Sept. 29.

A Flood Watch means that the potential for flooding exists within specific watercourses and municipalities.

Quinte Conservation is a community-based environmental protection agency. It serves 18 municipalities in the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers and Prince Edward County. It provides cost-effective environmental expertise and leadership. Quinte Conservation’s main goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where people and nature live in harmony.
