| Flood Advisory March 30, 2009 |
|
Mississippi Valley Conservation is issuing a FLOOD ADVISORY for residents of Snow Road Village, Dalhousie and Mississippi Lakes and residents along the Clyde River and smaller creeks.
With the rainfall and warmer temperatures over the weekend, flows in the smaller creeks and tributaries of the Mississippi River have increased considerably over the past 24 hours. Although no significant flooding is anticipated at this time, levels are expected to increase steadily over the next week. Water levels on Dalhousie Lake are expected to increase 20-30 cm over current levels by Thursday. Water levels on Mississippi Lake are expected to increase 30-50 cm by the end of the week. Parents please continue to warn children about the dangers of playing on or near ice covered surfaces or fast flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. |
