Explanation concerning the surface water backflow in front of the Moonshine BBQ restaurant on Thursday, July 16, 2020.

The water level of the Outaouais River is higher than the pipe  invert which slows the evacuation of water at the exit of our system. As a result, this causes a backflow of surface water during heavy rain on Hamilton Street between Main East and Sinclair Streets. Everything is back to normal.
