April 7, 2023 storm response newsletter from Rawlson King, City Councillor for Rideau-Rockcliffe.
I toured Rideau-Rockcliffe this morning, including Manor Park, Overbrook and Rockcliffe Park. Thank you to those residents who have been helping their neighbours in the aftermath of the ice storm. My sincere thanks also to Rideau-Rockcliffe community associations that have been monitoring their neighbourhoods to ensure residents are coping well through this ordeal. While power has been restored to the majority of the Ward, there are still several pockets here that need to be reinstated.
The continuous accumulation of ice caused by Wednesday’s freezing rain event resulted in significant damage to trees - and to Hydro Ottawa's equipment and wires. Restoration efforts were slowed as a result of unsafe conditions, including falling trees, branches on overhead wires, and downed power lines. Today, high winds (up to 60km/h) were expected, potentially impacting the safety of crews and estimated restoration times and efforts.
Hydro Ottawa will continue to post information regarding these ongoing outages on its website, outage map, and its Twitter account.
If you are without power and you do not see your neighbourhood reflected on the outage map, you can report this in two ways:
Customer-owned equipment
If you have electrical equipment - such as a meter mast - that was damaged by the storm, the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) has a tool to help you find a licensed electrician who can complete repairs. Please click here.
