Asset Management: Levels of Service Public Engagement Questionnaire

Asset Management Questionnaire Link:Levels of Service Public Engagement Questionnaire Survey

Otonabee-South Monaghan continues to grow and develop as a community. A well-functioning infrastructure system of roads, bridges, water and wastewater, parks, facilities, and recreational centres sustains the local economy and enriches residents' quality of life. However, past investment patterns may not align with future needs.

Many factors influence how we prioritize infrastructure services as a community. These can include a growing and changing population, the local and regional economies, social and environmental factors, and governmental policies from provincial and federal authorities.

Please take a moment to complete this brief survey that aims to gather feedback from residents on our infrastructure services, explore community expectations, as well as the costs and benefits of making changes to where we invest in the future.

Asset Management: Levels of Service Public Engagement Questionnaire Survey

The survey closes on August 31, 2024.

ORCA issues Flood Watch - July 16, 2024

Message # 2024-11
Issued:  11:30 a.m.  Tuesday July 16, 2024

FLOOD WATCH - Issued for all waterbodies and watercourses within the jurisdiction of Otonabee Conservation.

Issued to: Municipalities of Selwyn, Douro-Dummer, Asphodel-Norwood, Otonabee-South Monaghan, Cavan Monaghan, City of Kawartha Lakes, City of Peterborough and Trent Hills, local water managers, and Otonabee Conservation’s other partners in flood emergency management.

This FLOOD WATCH is issued to alert municipalities, residents and businesses that the  potential for flooding exists within all waterbodies and watercourses and municipalities.

WEATHER:  40 to 60 mm of rain are possible today, Tuesday, July 16th due to the passing of a cold front causing severe thunderstorms and  heavy downpours.

On Wednesday July 17, isolated showers or non-severe thunderstorms are possible.

HYDROLOGY:  Present lake levels and river and stream flows are above normal for this time of year.   Significant rainfall today is likely to cause the rapid rise of water levels and flows, causing flooding.

ACTIONS:  Residents of flood prone areas and shorelines are advised to stay be prepared for potential flooding and stay aware of local weather conditions and alerts over the next 48 hours.  Recreational water users are urged to remain cautious because high water levels and flows will continue through the weekend  

Water levels can be monitored on-line at:

1.      Trent-Severn Waterway’s Water Management InfoNet

2.      Water Survey of Canada Real-Time Hydrometric Data 

3.      Otonabee Region Conservation Authority website
