This isn’t an isolated incident — two smaller overflows hit earlier this June. Despite a $232 million tunnel project aimed at capturing excess flow, extreme weather continues to strain aging infrastructure, causing widespread flooding and thousands of basement backups. While the treatment plant runs fine, the river’s safety is now in question — Ottawa Public Health’s weekly beach tests haven’t yet accounted for Wednesday’s massive spill, leaving residents unsure if it’s safe to swim. The city’s response highlights a growing challenge: protecting our waterways in the face of climate extremes and outdated systems.
