The Grey Sauble Conservation Authority has issued a flood watch for the Beaver River in Thornbury and Clarksburg.
They say due to the extreme cold temperatures over the past few days, combined with the fact that the Beaver River has not fully frozen over, frazil ice is being generated within the turbulent flow reaches of the river upstream of Clarksburg.
It has caused water levels to rise significantly within the past 24 hours.
Town of the Blue Mountains crews and contractors have been using a long-reach excavator to remove frazil ice from the river to promote flow.
They say, “Flood Watches are issued when flooding is possible along local watercourses. Landowners within known flood prone areas in Clarksburg should monitor their situation and be prepared in case of flooding.”
