GRAND RIVER – Moderate melting temperatures along with some rainfall is forecast throughout the coming week. River flows are expected to remain above normal as runoff recedes from the weather event last week.
An ice jam is still in place in the Grand River through Cayuga, although water levels have returned to the river channel and flooding of streets is no longer occurring. Conditions will be monitored closely and updates will be issued as necessary.
The public is reminded to continue to exercise extreme caution around all water bodies. Banks adjacent to rivers and creeks are very slippery at this time and, when combined with recent weather conditions, pose a serious hazard. Parents are encouraged to keep their children and pets away from all watercourses and off frozen water bodies, which may be weakened as a result of the melt. Ice fishing remains closed at all GRCA facilities.
