West Nipissing lifts emergency declaration
The emergency declaration for the Municipality of West Nipissing has been lifted.
It was put in place April 18 in response to flooding affecting various areas of the municipality and a risk of further impacts from precipitation and spring melt conditions.
The municipality says current conditions and water levels have since stabilized, with flooding impacts proving less extensive and less widespread than initially anticipated.
Officials say they will continue to monitor the situation, while Emergency Services and Public Works crews will continue to patrol and assess road conditions.
Residents with flood-related concerns or inquiries can contact the Municipality at 705-753-2250, or 705-753-1171 for after-hours urgent matters.
