The Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a flood warning for the Black River watershed.
In Ramara Township the water is continuing to rise along the Black and Talbot Rivers and Lake St. John, slowly creeping towards people homes.
“We have to get ready, soon as we see any kind of water coming around our property we have to start putting the sand bags around,” said Ramara resident Cathy Howes.
So far there hasn`t been any flooding, but Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for the areas, with potential totals of 30 to 60mm.
On Wednesday, township officials said water levels were less than a foot away from going over the dam on Lake St. John.
The Township of Ramara is making sand available for residents, as the water rises along the Black River.
“Currently the water has not exceeded the bank, but just want to be prepared and hopefully prevent damage to their homes,” said Deputy Fire Chief Tony Stong.
As a precaution, the township is making sand available for residents. They have sand piled up at a park on Bluebird Street, Ethel Drive, Davy Drive and Ash Crescent
