Flood Warning issued for the Trent Severn-Waterway
Updated forecasts indicate significant rainfall over the next five days, combined with increased runoff from rain and snowmelt in the Haliburton–Reservoir Lakes region. As a result, water levels and flows are expected to rise rapidly, and flooding in low-lying areas is imminent—particularly along the Otonabee River.
Current conditions pose a high risk to public safety and may result in property damage in flood-prone areas. Residents are reminded to stay away from shorelines and dams due to hazardous conditions.
Half Load Restrictions
Half-load restrictions in the Township of Selwyn will begin Sunday, March 1, 2026.
To protect our road network during the spring thaw, half-load restrictions are implemented annually beginning March 1, in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act. These measures help prevent road damage when municipal roads are most vulnerable to heavy vehicle traffic.
During this period, vehicles are limited to a maximum of 5 tonnes per axle, and truck and commercial transport access may be restricted in affected areas.
Restrictions remain in effect until April 30, 2026, unless otherwise announced.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping to preserve our roads.
