Bins open for sandbags and flood debris
Administrator | Jul 13, 2020 | Comments 0
Waste bins are now available in four locations for property owners to drop off used sandbags and flood debris.
The bins are located at:
Consecon – Old Fire Hall (81 Consecon Main Street)
End of Sunrise Drive
Prinyers Cove Park
Northport – Northport Centennial Park
Property owners should only drop off sandbags and items that have washed up on their shoreline, such as driftwood, brush, broken docks, rafts, rope, seaweed, and lake plants.
Quinte Conservation recently downgraded the flood watch for Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte to a shoreline conditions statement.
The lake level is now below the 75.3 m elevation used to determine a general flood line above which some properties will begin to be affected. Water levels are expected to continue to slowly decline over the coming weeks and months.
