Rising water levels , something to be aware of !!

The current river levels at Pembroke have reached minor flood levels. The level is forecasted to continue to rise slowly over the next few days as the snowmelt continues in the northern portion of the Ottawa River.

The precipitation we are receiving is expected to continue throughout the rest of the week and into the weekend. The total rainfall by Sunday is expected to reach up to 30mm.

Residents are reminded that sandbagging is an effective way to help reduce flood damage when done properly. Sandbags should be filled only halfway to two-thirds full (approximately 35–40 lbs) so they can be shaped and stacked tightly and placed in staggered rows like bricks to create a solid barrier. A small trench can help anchor the first layer, and plastic sheeting placed beneath and over the bags can improve water resistance. Sandbag walls should be built wider than they are high and positioned slightly away from structures to reduce pressure on foundations. Residents should also use proper lifting techniques and wear gloves to prevent injury. Learn more at pembroke.ca/sandbagging.

If you require sand and bags for your property, please contact the City of Pembroke Operations Department at 613-735-6821 extension 1409.

Please be sure to give your name, address and the approximate amount of bags you require.

It’s a wrap for the year with our MFR event coverage . What a way to end it . Not only did they provide medical coverage for the DeepRiver hospital polar plunge but both the unit chief and deputy took the plunge themselves and raised money for the hospital
