Water levels are rising on the Bow and local creeks, but so far there's nothing out of the ordinary for this time of the year.

The recent heatwave, followed by several days of rain, has led to advisories and watches being issued elsewhere in the province, including Calgary and Banff.

Fire inspector Jeff Avery says the current conditions are typical and continue to be monitored daily by Cochrane Fire Services.

"It's very common," says Avery. "We are telling Cochrane residents to stay off the river. Now is not the time to go tubing or to take a boat or anything on there. There's a lot of debris on the water. It's flowing very fast, so until it goes down a little bit, stay completely off the river."

He says there are a few pathways that normally flood. When that occurs, town parks staff put up barricades and issue advisories.

"As of right now, there's hasn't been a lot of overland flooding," says Avery. "We're still in pretty good shape."

He says since the flood of 2013, the Alberta government has put further flood mitigation measures in place.

"But when you're at the mercy of Mother Nature, you just never know."

Rivers and creeks will drop to calmer levels in July.
