Full Notification

The Huron Township Department of Public Safety is urging the public to exercise extreme caution when engaging in recreational activity on any stream or river in our area or surrounding areas. The recent heavy rainstorms have elevated water levels in our local rivers/streams and increased the speeds of the currents. Even if the water may seem calm at the surface, the currents under the surface may be overwhelming. The Huron Township Department of Public Safety has noted that the heavy rainfall in the last 10 days has caused many parts of rivers and streams within our area to show a drastic increase in water flow and violent rapids in some areas have been created as a result. The Huron Township Department of Public Safety suggests anyone engaging in water activities to always wear a life jacket and to let a family or friend know of your intent on or near the water and when you plan to arrive home.

Regardless of how a river or stream may appear at the surface, severe caution should always be taken to avoid injury or death.

In the event of an emergency, call 911 immediately to report the incident.
