Dear citizens,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state of emergency remains in effect for the time being. The situation has improved significantly. The
level of the Ottawa River has decreased by 8 cm over the past 24 hours while the Coulonge River has
decreased by 22 cm. Our teams remain available to protect areas at risk and limit the impacts of a
second flood associated with snowmelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pont Rouge: closed until further notice.<\/strong> The risk of closure of the White Bridge<\/strong> is now unlikely. The sand
dikes<\/strong> will remain in place on Du Bord-de-l’Eau Street<\/em> and at the Baume Street for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Official forecasts indicate that the Ottawa River<\/strong> could reach an average flood threshold of 108.60 m.<\/strong>
The level is currently 108.54 m<\/strong> and slightly decreasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperatures will be seasonal for the next 7 days with cool nights. No precipitation in sight within a week
for the moment. These conditions should allow for gradual snowmelt and with less risk of a second
problematic rise in the level of the Ottawa River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Filling remains the responsibility of the citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for your cooperation. We are monitoring the situation closely and are deploying the necessary
measures to ensure everyone’s safety. For any information or to report a danger, contact the municipality.
Have a good weekend to all; Remain cautious!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
