City of Windsor officials continue to monitor water levels along Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River and Little River. While there is no imminent threat at this time, water levels are high enough to warrant concern and preparations.
For that reason, the City of Windsor is moving forward with plans to make sand and bags available to residents in the area of greatest risk of flooding at this time. These homes are located along the north side of Riverside Drive from George Avenue east to our border with the Town of Tecumseh.
The City of Windsor is committed to working with all residents in East Windsor who could potentially be impacted by seasonal flooding. This week, a detailed letter from the City Engineer was distributed to 300 at-risk homes with additional information and advice on how to protect residential properties. A further 17,000 will receive an informational flyer within the next week.
Residents from those addresses are asked to call 311 (open 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday), and an appointment can be set up to meet City staff at the sandbag station. Appointments will be scheduled between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, beginning Friday, April 3, 2020.
The sandbag station is located at 9410 Little River Road (just west of the Little River Bridge and the roundabout). Residents attending the sandbag station will be asked to show proof of address (mail or billing information showing address) and to check in with the attendant each time they visit. The sandbag station will have a City staff member on hand, but the bags and filling of the bags are the responsibility of residents
As per advice from the Windsor Essex County Health Unit, residents are reminded to practice social distancing when filling sandbags, and stay 6 feet away from anyone else who may be filling sandbags.
While these noted conditions for shoreline flooding are not related to infrastructure, helpful details on basement flooding prevention are available on the City of Windsor website.
Yard waste collection has begun in Leamington. Yard waste will be collected every week for the urban area of the municipality through to November 27, 2020. To determine your weekly yard waste collection day, please consult the collection maps located in your 2020 Collection Calendar.
Yard waste will only be collected in cardboard boxes, paper yard waste bags or garbage cans/pails. Plastic bags will not be accepted.
Yard waste includes garden waste, grass clippings, tree/hedge trimmings and leaves:
Leamington residents are asked to follow the physical distancing recommendations of health officials and stay at least 2 metres away from garbage, yard waste and recycling workers.
If you have questions regarding yard waste collection, please call the Municipality at 519-322-2346 or visit www.leamington.ca/garbage.
In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep people home, the Ontario Government has ordered the closure of all outdoor recreational amenities, which includes the Leamington Marina and boat ramp.
The Municipality of Leamington will continue to follow directions from the Ontario Government; however, at this time, there has not been a decision to close the Marina for the 2020 season.
In the event it is determined that the Marina will not be opening on May 1, 2020 as scheduled, the Municipality will provide further communication at that time.

At the request of the City of Windsor, the Windsor Port Authority has once again authorized a temporary 30-day buffer zone of 30 metres for all motorized watercraft moving along the Windsor shoreline of the Detroit River. This means, effective immediately, no motorized watercraft can operate within 30 metres of shore unless docking.
The 30-metre ban was also imposed during last year’s extremely high water levels and is an effort aimed at protecting properties from overland flooding and erosion.
