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.

Saugeen Conservation has reduced the Flood Warning to a Flood Watch for Pinkerton as conditions begin to improve. Intervention measures have helped reduce flows over Bruce Road 15 and around affected homes. However, flooding is still occurring in low-lying areas, and impacted residents remain at risk.

  • Residents in Pinkerton should continue to use caution
  • If you are in danger due to flooding, call 911
Flooding remains localized to Pinkerton and is not expected to impact downstream areas.
A Water Safety Statement remains in effect for the rest of the Saugeen watershed. While water levels are declining, they are still high, and freezing rain today will create slippery and dangerous conditions near rivers and streams.

Stay back from all watercourses and keep family and pets at a safe distance

This message is in effect until March 25 at 4:30 p.m., unless updated

A reminder that Municipal Road Closures are posted to Municipal 511's website.
