The Saugeen Conservation Authority has revised a flood outlook issued on Friday to a water safety statement.

This comes when water levels have risen significantly in response to a string of showers and will remain elevated throughout the week.

The large low pressure system last week brought in 50-78mm of rain to the watershed which has elevated local watercourses.

While no significant flooding is expected watercourses could reach or exceed bank full conditions with minor flood in low lying areas.

The public is reminded to stay away from all watercourses and structures such as bridges, culverts and dams.

Recreational river users should take precautions as higher water levels and faster flows are expected to persist for the week.
