ORCA issues Watershed Conditions Statement - Water Status - November 18, 2025

Message # 2025-18

Issued: 11:30 am., Tuesday, November 18, 2025


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Otonabee Region Watershed move to Level 1 Low Water Condition
The Otonabee Region Water Response Team has downgraded the Otonabee Conservation watershed to a Level 1 Low Water Condition, following its Level 2 status since August.

Above-average rainfall in September and October has eased the effects of this summer’s hot, dry weather. Otonabee Conservation will continue monitoring conditions and may return to normal status if precipitation remains sufficient in the coming weeks.

The Otonabee Region Water Response Team includes representatives from local municipalities, water managers, tourism and agriculture, provincial and federal agencies, First Nations and Otonabee Conservation. For more information about the Low Water Response Program, visit our website at www.otonabeeconservation.com.
