The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is advising area residents that a flood watch is in effect for all watersheds in the Peterborough and Bancroft districts.
The watch is in effect until Friday.
Residents should expect water levels and river flows to remain high through the week. Runoff into local lakes and rivers is expected to increase with forecasted rainfall, snow melt and warm weather.
The MNR is also advising extreme caution when using forest access roads for outdoor activities as many are seasonally inundated with water, prone to washouts and may be impassible due to current water levels.
