Ontario Power Generation is conducting the equipment upgrades at the Auburn Generating Station.

Otonabee Conservation urges residents and river users to exercise caution, as elevated water conditions may result in strong undercurrents and rapidly changing conditions. Ensure that all boats, floating docks and related equipment are properly secured.

Water levels and flow are expected to return to normal following the completion of the upgrades.
