North Kawartha, ON – The Township of North Kawartha is advising residents and business owners to remain vigilant as water levels and river flows continue to rise across the region due to significant rainfall, rapid snowmelt, and warm temperatures.

As a result, lake levels and river flows are at or above full and are expected to continue rising throughout the Trent–Severn system.

Several Conservation Authorities have issued flood warnings, flood watches, and watershed safety advisories, including areas within Kawartha Conservation, Otonabee Conservation, Lower Trent Conservation, and Crowe Valley Conservation . Provincial flood warnings are also in effect in parts of Ontario, including nearby communities.
