FREDERICTON (GNB) – 14 April 2023  -- Water levels in rivers are increasing throughout the province from continuous snow melt, and Saint-Hilaire is forecast to reach flood stage by Tuesday, April 18.

Residents living or working in areas prone to localized flooding are reminded to be aware and take the proper precautions to safeguard their homes and possessions.

River Watch officials continue to watch ice movements in the upper Saint John River basin, which still have the potential to cause ice jams which can cause sudden increases of water levels in affected areas.

Flood level five-day forecasts are available online for the Upper Saint John River and the lower part of the Saint John River.
