The flood control channels owned and maintained by the Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority are currently flowing at normal levels. With the forecasted heavy rainfall, these channels are expected to see a rise in water levels. It is crucial to note that water in rivers, streams, and channels will be fast flowing during and after the rainfall event.
