A flood warning remains in effect for the community of Pinkerton as local officials continue monitoring water levels in the area.
The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority says flooding remains localized to Pinkerton within the Municipality of Brockton, and is not expected to affect nearby communities or downstream areas.
Saugeen Conservation says it is continuing to work closely with the County of Bruce and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to monitor conditions and support response efforts.
While the flood warning remains in place for Pinkerton, the broader Flood Watch that had been issued for the Saugeen River watershed has now been downgraded to a Water Safety Statement.
Officials say water levels in rivers and streams across the watershed peaked late last week and have been steadily dropping since.
Weather forecasts call for temperatures to remain mostly below freezing over the next several days, with little rainfall expected. Those conditions should help slow runoff and allow water levels to continue declining.
However, Saugeen Conservation warns that hazardous conditions still exist around rivers, streams and low-lying areas. With March Break underway and more people spending time outdoors, residents are being urged to stay clear of waterways and supervise children closely.
Saugeen Conservation staff say they will continue monitoring conditions and will issue further updates if necessary.
The current advisory is expected to remain in effect until March 20 unless conditions change.
