Local water traffic is likely to be confined to small boats and canoe type vessels with extremely shallow drafts and limited capacity.

I have to differ with you on the effort required. The approaches to the town on the river is only like 3 km in either direction. You're not re-surveying the entire area, just marking a reasonably safe travel for the larger end of the expected traffic (go here). That's 1-3 men in a row boat for an afternoon, once every couple of months, maybe more often in the wake of a major storm.
On the other hand, I will grant that if there is not sufficient traffic (boats like Wisla Krowola), then there is no (economic) reason to bother.
