Pinkerton Flooding Update March 17, 2026

The Municipality of Brockton continues to work closely with Bruce County, Provincial agencies, and Conservation partners in response to a unique flooding situation in Pinkerton. This issue was caused by a breach in a privately owned dyke following recent rainfall and snowmelt, which has partially redirected the Teeswater River toward three occupied households.

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.

At this time, a State of Emergency has not been declared. The safety and well-being of residents remain the Municipality’s highest priority.

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.

Residents can continue to monitor the Municipality’s Pinkerton Flooding webpage and our social media accounts to stay informed.
