Pour diffusion immédiate Avertissement concernant le niveau des eaux dans la région du complexe des barrages Témiscamingue Témiscamingue (Québec), le 1er mai 2017 – Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada (SPAC) souhaite aviser la population qu’en raison des précipitations abondantes annoncées cette semaine, le niveau des eaux du bassin de la rivière des Outaouais et du lac Témiscamingue devrait augmenter considérablement. Le niveau d’eau du lac Témiscamingue pourrait s’élever au-dessus des conditions normales d’exploitation. Le niveau d’eau actuel (données prises ce matin) sur la rive nord du lac Témiscamingue est de 178,80 m et devrait continuer d’augmenter de 15 à 20 cm par jour au cours de la semaine. Le niveau maximal d’opération de 179,56 m devrait être atteint d’ici la fin de semaine. Les municipalités et les résidents, en particulier ceux qui se trouvent dans les zones basses et le long des rives, devraient surveiller les conditions de près et se préparer en conséquence. Les rives adjacentes aux rivières et aux ruisseaux, qui sont très glissantes en ce moment et auxquelles s’ajoute la présence de l'eau froide, posent un danger sérieux pour la population. On demande donc à la population de garder les enfants et les animaux loin des rives et des cours d'eau. Un suivi attentif des conditions locales, des prévisions et des avertissements actualisés d'Environnement et Changement climatique Canada est fortement recommandé. SPAC continuera à surveiller les prévisions météorologiques, les débits des cours d'eau et les niveaux d'eau. Le présent avertissement demeurera en vigueur jusqu’à ce que les conditions changent. - 30 - Renseignements Biens immobiliers Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada TPSGC.Biensimmobiliers-RealProperty.PWGSC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca

For immediate release Water level warning for Timiskaming Dam Complex area Timiskaming, Quebec, May 1, 2017 — Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to advise the public that, as a result of significant rainfall forecasted this week on the Ottawa River watershed, levels all along the Ottawa River and on Lake Timiskaming should increase significantly. Water levels will definitely be well above normal for this time of year. The actual water level (as of this morning) on the north end of Lake Timiskaming was 178.8 m and should continue to rise at a rate between 15 and 20 cm per day during the coming week. We should reach the maximum operating water level of 179.56 m by this weekend. Municipalities and residents, especially those in low-lying areas and along shorelines, are encouraged to monitor these conditions and prepare accordingly. Shorelines and banks adjacent to rivers and creeks are very slippery at this time and, when combined with cold open water, pose a serious hazard. We encourage everyone to keep children and pets away from shorelines and watercourses. Keeping a close watch on local conditions and staying updated on forecasts and warnings from Environment and Climate Change Canada is strongly recommended. PSPC will continue to monitor weather forecasts, river flows and water levels. This message will remain in effect until conditions change. - 30 - Information Real Property Public Services and Procurement Canada TPSGC.Biensimmobiliers-RealProperty.PWGSC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca
