How Ottawa Flood Bond Plan Works and Costs
Ottawans ask about bond terms and federal funding for flood control. The 20 year bonds will be issued in stages as Army Engineers secure plans and funds, with peak local payments before remaining bonds are not issued if unused. The channel improvement and reservoirs are designed to dovetail, with the federal government covering most reservoir and channel costs while Ottawa pays up to 770000 for right of way and local sewer alterations.
