The Ottawa River is expected to reach "minor flood levels" through the Ottawa area early next week, potentially flooding several streets and lawns in low-lying areas
Officials anticipate that water levels will exceed minor flooding levels next week, impacting several streets and lawns in low-lying areas. Areas that could see minor flooding include Lake Coulonge, Chats Lake, Britannia, Pointe-Gatineau, Cumberland, Clarence-Rockland and Thurso. Officials say most of the water currently entering the Ottawa River is located in areas where there are no reservoirs or retention capacity.
"Residents are advised to stay away from watercourses where flows are high and where banks might be unstable," the conservation authorities said. "Parents are encouraged to explain dangers to children and provide appropriate supervision around all waterbodies."
