Flood update: Gatineau not letting its guard down
Gatineau, April 24, 2023. – According to the latest information from the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board (ORRPB), water levels should remain steady or drop slightly over the next few days. The last couple of days' rainfall has brought additional volumes from the north, slowing the drop in water levels in Gatineau.
Gatineau reminds the public to remain vigilant because water levels are affected by factors that are known only a few days before they occur.
For the time being, three streets are restricted to local traffic, these being Oscar, Lamoureux and Riviera. Residual materials collection will go ahead as usual along those streets.
Gatineau will continue to update residents as the situation evolves. Residents are asked to sign up for text and e-mail alerts at gatineau.ca/crue.
