More than 300 million litres of sewage water poured into Ottawa River during storm

Last week’s severe thunderstorm overwhelmed Ottawa’s new, purpose-built sewage and stormwater storage tunnel, sending 316 million litres of contaminated water pouring into the Ottawa River. It was the worst overflow since the $232 million Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) went into service in 2020.

I can't wait to luxuriate in warmth!

We're in the midst of a snow event here. Nothing too dramatic yet, but a bit windy.

What did we get overnight? I can't really tell as it's being blown around a lot. Maybe a couple or few cm.

The first overnight of this big pre-Xmas storm system is almost over. Sun will rise soon, but not be particularly visible.

The hours-long ice pelting we could hear all night. It seems to be mostly rain now. That wind though, it is really howling.

Good morning #Ottawa, and eastern North America - stay inside if you can.

We've had #OttawaWeather warnings about high winds for today, but they don't seem to be happening yet.

I serviced and charged my small battery bank in anticipation. Just in case there's a power outage. I have two deep-cycle batteries in a little experimental setup for such occasions.
