Drought downgraded for eastern Leeds-Grenville

FINCH – A drought advisory for the eastern portion of Leeds-Grenville has been downgraded and, in other areas, eliminated.

The South Nation Conservation Authority issued an advisory today (Nov. 12) that a moderate level two drought for an area from eastern Augusta Township to Casselman had been downgraded to a minor level one drought.

For the rest of the region, which had been under a level one drought, the advisory has been lifted entirely.

SNCA is still asking residents on wells to be conservative with their water use.

The drought levels were raised Sept. 24.
