The chalets along the Rideau Canal haven't been removed, and water is enveloping them.

Workers along the Rideau Canal are trying to dry out sevenchalets, each costing $750,000, after they were flooded by rising waters.

The same thing happened when the chalets were just installed in 2011. One of the chalets suffered slight water damage whenlevels rose higher than expected.

As the CBC's Cory O'Kelly reports, there is no estimate yet on how much damage the water has caused this time around.
