The warm temperatures and recent precipitation have led to significant snowmelt and rising water levels across many of our local watersheds. As a result, flood watches are currently in effect. Residents living near waterways are encouraged to monitor conditions closely and consult the latest updates and resources on our Spring Flooding webpage.The Rideau Valley and Mississippi Valley conservation authorities have issued Water Safety statements due to high water levels. The Ottawa River continues to see water levels remain at close to seasonal values. Slightly higher water levels may occur in the Ottawa area due to the increased flows coming from smaller waterways including the Rideau River.
