Watermain Break on Northwestern

Posted on March 3, 2021 by | Comments Off on Watermain Break on Northwestern

Just saw a tweet from our city councillor:

@JLeiper
There’s a water main break on Northwestern between Pontiac and Cleaview that will affect service for some. They’ve got a 4:30 pm estimated repair completion time on that.

Gas Leak on Scott Street

Posted on November 9, 2020 by | 1 comment

There are several reports of a gas leak on Scott Street east of Island park. Possibly the construction people hit the wrong pipe, or the ground subsided and broke a gas pipe after sewer work. Anyway, whatever the cause, the closest houses have been evacuated and you should use some other street to get to the neighbourhood (Scott is closed from Northwestern westward).

Posted on February 8, 2020 by | Comments Off on Rink Shovelling Needed!

Subject: Help with snow from storm Champlain Rink
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2020 13:44:26 +0000
From: Jason I <jason_ilacqua@hotmail.com>

The snow plow was able to remove a lot of snow from the big storm we had. He was able to remove a lot of the snow but he’s having issues with the large snow banks along the boards. He’s heading back to the rink but we need your help.

Anyone that is available this morning to help push the snow off the boards or has a snowblower available we would greatly appreciate all the help we can get.

The plow is heading to the rink this morning so please let me know if you can help out.

Jason

Please Reduce Sewer Usage in Champlain Park

Posted on April 30, 2019 by | Comments Off on Please Reduce Sewer Usage in Champlain Park

Jeff Leiper’s office has suggested that reducing household discharge to the sanitary sewer system for the next few days could help reduce the risk of over-taxing the water system. Which means reducing usage by following cottage rules and cutting down on deep baths/long showers/etc:

If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down.

This is because river water is getting into the system. One of our residents writes:

Our concern was heightened this morning when a manhole cover at the corner of Pontiac and Patricia blew off from increased water pressure caused by the city blocking the sewer pipe yesterday on Pontiac behind the school. It’s still spouting a column of water and flooding the forest on the west side of Patricia and creeping towards Clearview. All they accomplished was pushing the problem 200m west.

By the way, Dovercourt is making their showers available if you need them.

More Sandbagging at Westboro

Posted on April 30, 2019 by | Comments Off on More Sandbagging at Westboro

Our neighbours to the west in Westboro could use some help with reinforcing the sandbagging at the north part of Churchill Avenue. If you have an hour to spare (or a wheelbarrow or other sandbag mover), head over to there (about a 20 minute walk). Details in their Facebook post.

Thanks everyone for helping out, the sandbagging is complete in our neighbourhood, for now. If you want to join the roving bands of sandbaggers (a bunch of them showed up in an OC Transpo shuttle bus), check out the city web site or ask around (councillor Jeff Leiper’s staff would know).

Flood info page at: https://ottawa.ca/en/residents/emergency-services/emergency-preparedness/flood-information-0 There’s even a video there about making sandbag walls.
