Closely gauging water levels is critical given flooding concerns held by residents living along the lake on both Canadian and United States’ shores who experienced flooding due to high water levels in the past several years.
The river board said in a press release, “precipitation in the recent two weeks has had a positive impact and the wetter conditions have increased Lake Ontario water levels by approximately seven centimetres (2.8 inche). Normally, Lake Ontario water levels typically have begun the seasonal decline by this time of year.”
