Flood watch ended but river levels remain high, says GRCA

The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has ended a flood watch, but officials warnriver levels are still high.

Due to the warm weather expected this week, river levels are expected to remain above normal even though runoff from last week's warm and rainy weather is diminishing, the authority said in a release.

Anice jam is still in place in the Grand River through Cayuga but the streets are no longer flooded.

The GRCA reminded people to be cautious around water. Banks along rivers and creeks are slippery during this time and can be a hazard.

As a result of the warmerweather this week, parents are encouraged to keep children and pets away from watercourses and off bodies of water.
