FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 14, 2019
FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR ROBLIN LAKE
Roblin Lake in Ameliasburgh, Prince Edward County, has surpassed the 1 in 100 year water levels. There are no known structures within the 1 in 100 year floodplain, however, some properties in the area are experiencing flooded lawns.
Quinte Conservation owns a small water control structure at the outlet of Roblin Lake. There are currently no logs in the structure which allows for continuous outflow from the lake.
Quinte Conservation staff will continue to monitor conditions twice a week.
The public is advised to contact their municipality if they require sandbags for property protection.
For current water levels, to report any observations of flooding, or for resource links, residents are encouraged to visit QuinteConservation.ca.
A Flood Watch statement notifies that the potential for flooding exists within specific watercourses and municipalities. Municipalities, emergency services, and individual landowners in flood-prone areas should prepare.
This message will be in effect until (or updated if anything significant changes before) Tuesday, May 21, 2019.
