The South Nation Conservation Authority has issued a severe drought warning for several subwatersheds, including the Bearbrook and Upper South Nation River areas.
Properties connected to any of the City of Ottawa central drinking water systems, including communal wells, are not impacted.
All Ottawa residents are encouraged to practise wise water use, particularly concerning outdoor water use, which can place large demands on wells and water distribution systems.
