After weeks of dealing with high water levels, it looks like the tide is turning and water levels are now in decline. The latest numbers from the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board show levels along most of the river finally declining and other parts stabilizing. Britannia in west Ottawa has reached its peak, just 10 centimetres below where it was at an earlier peak this spring. Water levels in Britannia have reached their second peak and should start to fall in the coming days. The Hull Marina in Gatineau is at 44.94 metres and is now expected to see water levels move down.
