Conservation Sudbury is issuing a flood warning for the Vermilion River, including communities in Greater Sudbury and surrounding area.
The warning takes in parts of Val Therese, Chelmsford and Dowling, Whitefish and Nairn Centre, the lower section of Junction Creek (Mud, Simon and McCharles Lakes), the Wanapitei River (parts of Wahnapitae, St. Cloud and Wanup areas) and Lily Creek (Regent Street to Robinson Lake).
The flood warning is in effect until 10 a.m. May 10.
“Throughout Greater Sudbury, water levels were receding after the recent snowmelt but remained elevated,” conservation Sudbury said in a statement Wednesday.
“The heavy rains over the last four days have impacted the runoff resulting in very high flows. Water levels have been rising quickly and will overtop the banks at certain locations causing localized flooding. The inundation of low-lying areas adjacent to watercourses with a history of flooding is already occurring.”
Properties adjacent to the Wanapitei River, lower Junction Creek and Vermilion River are at a higher risk of flooding and occupants should be prepared.
