South Nation Conservation (SNC) continues to caution residents along low-lying areas of the St. Lawrence River in the Township of Augusta, Township of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, and the Township of South Dundas.  St. Lawrence River water levels are slowly declining, but are expected to remain high over the coming weeks due to high water levels in Lake Ontario and the forecasted 10-15 mm of precipitation this weekend.
