From Constance Bay to Clarence-Rockland, Ottawa River continues to rise

Warm spring weather combined with more precipitation could see water levels along the Ottawa River shorelinerise to heights last seen during the peak of the flooding in May 2017.

Another 15 to 50 millimetresof rain is expected to fall over portions of the Ottawa River basin Tuesday and Wednesday, according to South Nation Conservation, a watershed management organization that monitors river levels in the region in cooperation with other authorities.

Here's what that will mean for communities in and around Ottawa.

Constance Bay

The Ottawa River is expected to rise another 0.5 to 0.6 metres overthe next four days, nearing 2017 peak levels.

Britannia

Similar to Constance Bay, water levels are expected to riseanother half-metre bythe weekend between Grandview Road and Britannia, including CrystalBay.

Again, those will rival levels last seen in May 2017.

Cumberland

Residents of Cumberland who spent their long weekend sandbagging could be in for more of the same.Water levels there are set to rise between 0.4 and 0.6 metresin the area near Morin Road and Bois Lane.

So far, things aren't looking as bad as they did in 2017, butriver regulators have warned that could change depending on the amount of precipitation the region receives, and how quickly the remaining snowpack melts.

Clarence-Rocklandand Alfred-Plantagenet

Water levels are expected to remain high but steady in areas downstreamfrom Ottawa.

The river isexpected to rise about one-tenth of a metre, peakingMonday. That's below May 2017 levels.
