Enhanced Monitoring of Pinkerton Flooding

Extensive flooding is occurring in Pinkerton due to a breach of a privately-owned dyke. The Municipality of Brockton is continuing to coordinate with external agencies, including the County of Bruce, Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources and other Provincial agencies. 

The Municipality remains in an Enhanced Monitoring State, with the Municipal Emergency Control Group meeting regularly to assess conditions and coordinate response efforts. Municipal crews continue to conduct daily site inspections, ongoing monitoring, and maintain regular communications with the affected residents.

Residents are strongly advised to avoid the area and refrain from accessing closed roads as roadways may be compromised. Due to elevated water levels and limited access to the site, repairs will take time.

The Municipality will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves.
