Farlain Lake – High Water Levels (2026 Updates)

With water levels on Farlain Lake reaching record high levels, many members of our community are experiencing impacts ranging from shoreline saturation to flooding concerns. The Farlain Lake Community Association (FLCA) is actively engaging with the Township, gathering information, and looking at both short-term and longer-term approaches to this situation. We are committed to keeping our members informed and supported.

This page will be updated regularly with the latest information, actions being taken, and ways you can stay involved.

Current Situation

Water levels on Farlain Lake are currently well above typical seasonal levels.  As a result, some properties around the lake are experiencing:

  • Flooding in low-lying areas
  • Saturated and unstable shorelines
  • Increased risk of erosion
  • Impacts to docks, boathouses, and other shoreline structures

Conditions may continue to change as weather patterns evolve.

What’s Being Done

The FLCA is actively engaging with the Township and the SSEA, gathering information, and considering both short-term and longer-term approaches to this situation. We are committed to keeping our members informed and supported.

Township of Tiny

The Township is aware of the current situation and is:

  • Monitoring water levels and conditions
  • Working to provide resources such as sand for sandbags

Tiny Township Proposed Potential Strategy Under the Drainage Act

The attached report PWR-022-25 – Farlain Lake Water Levels – Pdf  was prepared by the public works department of Tiny Township in response to a deputation made by some members of the Farlain Lake community in June of 2025.  At the August meeting, Council approved staff’s recommendation to proceed with Option #3, although there was also some consideration to the need for a hydrogeological study as outlined in Option #2. The next step was for the Township to hold a public information meeting (PIC) which would include the Township Drainage Superintendent, and focus on educating the public as to how the process outlined in the report would work, including potential costs to residents.

That meeting was held on November 25 and the recording is available on the Township’s YouTube channel. Members of the community are strongly encouraged to view the recording in order to understand the process that would be involved under the Drainage Act.  You can review the attached  Summary of November 25, 2025 Public Info Meeting which has been prepared in consultation with the Township.
