As temperatures warm, remember that melting snow and ice mean higher water levels. Keep ditches, culverts, drains and catch basins free of any debris to help prevent possible flooding. Waterways will be flowing higher than normal causing local streams and rivers to become dangerous, especially near culverts and bridges. Children and pets should stay away from all watercourses. A reminder – fish huts must be removed from the lake by March 15. For more information, visit georgina.ca/fire.
