Ottawa – The South Nation Conservation Authority yesterday issued a severe drought warning for several subwatersheds, including the Bearbrook and Upper South Nation River watersheds.
Properties in the City of Ottawa that are connected to any of the City’s central drinking water systems, including communal wells, are not impacted.
The City of Ottawa’s central drinking water system relies upon the Ottawa River. The City’s annual water demand is normally less than 1 per cent of the Ottawa River flow. The current river levels are comparable to the same period last year. The City’s communal well systems draw on deep aquifers and are currently not impacted by the drought conditions. Water use in the communal well systems is well within the City’s permitted water use.
Residents on private well systems and those drawing from open surface water sources should respect the voluntary guidelines recommended by the conservation authority and reduce their water use.
The City of Ottawa has representatives on all of the local Conservation Authority Low Water Response Teams and will continue to monitor the situation and advise further if conditions change.
All Ottawa residents are encouraged to practise wise water use, particularly concerning outdoor water use, which can place large demands on wells and water distribution systems.
For more information please visit the South Nation Conservation Authority or call the SNCA at 613-984-2948 or 1-877-984-2948.
