Management control efforts for invasive phragmites will be taking place in roadsides throughout the City of Belleville and Prince Edward County starting the week of August 17th.
In accordance with changes to the Conservation Authorities Act, Ontario's 36 conservation authorities will amalgamate into 9 Regional Conservation Authorities effective February 1, 2027. As part of this transition, Quinte Conservation (QC), Kawartha Conservation (KC), Ganaraska Conservation Authority (GCA), Otonabee Conservation Authority (OCA), Crowe Valley Conservation (CVC), Lower Trent Conservation (LTC), and Cataraqui Conservation (CC) are preparing to merge into the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Conservation Authority (ELORCA).
Throughout this process and beyond February 1, 2027, Quinte Conservation will continue to provide and carry out all of its programs with the high level of service expected by our residents, municipal partners, and stakeholders. Our commitment to delivering exceptional programs and services across the watershed remains unchanged.
If you have questions about Quinte Conservation's programs and services, or the transition to ELORCA, please contact us at info@quinteconservation.ca. Our management team will be pleased to assist you.
The Quinte Source Protection Authority is thrilled to announce an innovative partnership with Prince Eddy’s Brewing Company in Prince Edward County, ON. A new locally made lager showcases the important message of protecting drinking water sources through the slogan: Great beer starts with clean water. This message stands true as the brewery takes its municipal water from Picton Bay and uses that to make a variety of lagers and IPAs.
With a Level 1 – Low Water status in effect for the Quinte Watershed, Quinte Conservation Staff have performed dam operations at Second Depot Lake and Third Depot Lake dams located in the Napanee region watershed, to help improve the significantly low water levels in the Napanee River. Residents are warned to be cautious as water levels on First Depot Lake and Depot Creek, downstream of the dams, are expected to rise quickly in response to the operation, while Second Depot Lake will slowly decline.
The Quinte Region Low Water Response Team has issued a Level 1 - Low Water Condition for the Quinte Watershed.
