The Ottawa-Gatineau region's 2019 floods are officially the worst on record in some areas along the Ottawa River, with more records poised to fall as the river keeps rising over the next one to three days. The Ottawa River Regulating Committee, which controls reservoir levels along the length of the river basin, said levels are expected to peak in Ottawa Tuesday and Wednesday. The water level in Arnprior is 76.09 metres above sea level, 14 centimetres above the record set in 2017. Records were also broken at Britannia in Ottawa on Sunday, when the water level rose to two centimetres above the peak in 2017.
