April showers bring flooded roads
Homeowners with sump pump systems for their dwellings should also check tomake sure those pumps are in good condition and working. The current flood situation is due to heavy spring rains and winter snowmelting, cau- sing a rapid rise in stream levels everywhere. The ground has also become saturated and slow to absorb more water, adding to the heavier runoff situation.
NationMunicipality, and Russell Township, as well as the rural areas of Ottawa should also be alert. Several roads in almost every commu- nity have experienced flooding. County road 9 near the Séguin Bridge was closed on the St-Isidore village side, because of serious flooding of The Nation River. The latest report at press time from the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) public works department was that County Road 9 should be open to traffic again on Tuesday, April 11 with floodwaters receding. County Road 15 was reopened to traffic earlier in
the week after it was closed because of flood conditions. Residents should consult their munici- pal website for notices of which roads in their areas are still closed due to flooding. They are also advised to avoid going close to any shorelines during the current high water situation and to make sure that their children and pets are kept away from fast- running streams.
