A Flood Watch has been issued for Peterborough city and parts of Peterborough County by Otonabee Conservation.
Due to the warm temperatures, rainfall, and snowmelt across the Trent-Severn Waterway during the holiday season, Parks Canada is managing water through the entire system.
Officials say as increased flows enter the Kawartha Lakes, water levels will increase and result in potential breakup of ice cover and ice jams.
Residents and businesses along the shores of the Otonabee River are strongly encouraged to keep a close watch for frazil ice generation.
