The level of the Madawaska River will rise for a few days

Dec 9, 2024

People living along the Madawaska River will notice that the water level will be rising for some time.

Because of the expected upcoming rainfall, Hydro-Québec has to lower the water level in Lake Témiscouata, which serves as its natural reservoir.

The water level at the Madawaska dam downtown Edmundston is therefore being kept lower than usual, to allow the water to be evacuated as quickly as possible.
