Water levels in some areas along the Ottawa River are expected to peak by the end of the weekend. The City of Ottawa said that water levels are continuing to rise in Constance Bay, Britannia and Cumberland, and are expected to peak Sunday or Monday to levels just below that reached in an earlier peak this year. Water levels rose also between two to six centimetres in various areas of Gatineau over the last 24 hours, the City of Gatineau reported early Sunday morning. Further down the river, from the Hull Marina to Hawkesbury, the levels are expected to peak on Monday. Ottawa River levels near Pembroke, Ont., broke a nearly 60-year-old record Saturday, reaching a height of 113.68 metres — one centimetre higher than the previous record set in 1960.
