Quinte Conservation Declares Level 3 Low Water Condition - Sept 3, 2025

Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team have declared a Level 3 Low Water Condition due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams. This is the most severe low water level. Quinte Conservation Water Resources Manager Christine Phillibert says, “Due to much lower-than-normal precipitation totals over the course of the summer, monthly average streamflows in the Moira, Napanee, and Salmon Rivers are less than 30% of normal for the typical lowest flow month. We need a significant amount of rain to change that. The Water Response Team met Wednesday morning and declared that we are now in a Level 3 Low Water Condition.”
