Flood Watch for the Trent Severn-Waterway
A Flood Watch is in effect for the Trent-Severn Waterway within the Otonabee Region watershed. Recent warmer temperatures and precipitation in the Haliburton-Reservoir Lakes area have caused a significant increase in water runoff, leading to higher flows in rivers and streams that drain south into the Kawartha Lakes and Otonabee River. As a result, there is potential for nuisance to minor-level flooding of low-lying, flood vulnerable areas, starting this week and continuing through next week.
Residents are reminded to stay away from shorelines, and off the ice due to unsafe 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.
