Level of Madawaska River increasing

Aug 16, 2023

People living along the Madawaska River, particulary along Baisley Road, will notice that the water level will be increasing for some time.

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

The water level at the Madawaska dam in the city centre is therefore being kept lower than usual for this time of year, to allow the water to be evacuated as quickly as possible.
