Residents can obtain current information on Ottawa River levels by calling 1-800-778-

The Ottawa River Regulating Com- mittee consists of the following agen- cies which operate dams in the Ottawa River system: Public Works and Govern- ment Services Canada, Ontario Power Generation, Hydro-Québec and the Ministère du Développement durable de l’Environnement et des Parcs du Québec.
