Quinte Conservation has removed the shoreline conditions statement issued on June 26 for Lake Ontario and The Bay of Quinte.
Quinte Conservation states the lake level is now below an elevation of 75.3 m and is not expected to rise above it this year.
Lake Ontario’s water level continues to decline and was recorded at 75.1 m yesterday. This level is 17 cm above average and 56 cm below the recorded average set this time in 2019. Water levels are expected to continue to slowly decline over the coming weeks and months.
Residents are reminded to take precautions along shorelines as unstable/unsafe banks may exist due to recent erosion and wave action. Those with properties in low-lying or flood-prone areas should continue to monitor forecasts for storms and high winds which could lead to erosion from wave uprush.
Staff will continue to monitor conditions and will provide an update if forecasts and conditions change.
