(Dave Charbonneau/CTV News Ottawa) Three paddleboarders were rescued from the Deschenes Rapids in the Ottawa River, the latest rescue in the area in Ottawa's west end. The Ottawa Fire Services received a 9-1-1 call shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday, reporting a paddleboarder stuck in the rapids. Officials said when the Water Rescue Team arrived on the scene, they confirmed the individual had made it to shore safely. 'Water Rescue crews noticed three paddleboarders in the rapids without lifejackets requiring assistance,' Ottawa fire said. The Water Rescue Team launched at the scene and rescued the three people within minutes. Last Monday, water rescue teams pulled two people in distress and a pair of rafters from the water. Officials said that, in one case, there were reports of a yellow rubber raft getting stuck in the rapids. 'The Deschenes Rapids continue to be the most common location for water rescue calls in our city,' Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Nick Defazio said last week. 'We urge all residents to be aware of the hazards in this area and to exercise extreme caution when on or near the water.' With files from CTV News Ottawa's William Eltherington and Dave Charbonneau

Watermain swabbing is taking place in Barrie this week
If you receive a hand-delivered notice to your door this week, don't be alarmed. Watermain swabbing is taking place in Barrie. In order to properly maintain water systems, the city will conduct swabbing to clean out all watermains. Swabbing involves scouring the watermain with foam swabs and high-velocity water. These swabs go into a fire hydrant. Fire hydrants will be left open until all water runs clear. Swabbing is happening in the areas of Ward 6, 8 and 10 throughout the month of July. Water services in these areas will be affected this month: July 3, 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Areas of Coleman Drive, Gross Drive, Lowry Court, Pringle Drive, Ruffet Drive July 8, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Areas of Bay Lane, Brennan Avenue, Cliff Road, Kempview Lane, Southview Road, Wallwin's Way, White Oaks Road, Whitty Lane July 10, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Areas of Bayshore Boulevard, Brookfield Crescent, Capps Drive, Crimson Ridge Road, Golden Meadow Road, Royal Park Boulevard, Turner Drive July 22, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Areas of Bird Street, Edgehill Drive, Gross Drive, Knupp Road, Kraus Road, McAvoy Drive, Miller Drive, Sproule Drive July 24, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Areas of Dock Road, Gray Lane, Hurst Drive, Jean Street, Tyndale Road, Tynhead Road How will I be notified? If you receive a notice, it is advised that no water be used during the times specified on the notice. To prevent any water use, residents can turn their home water meter off. If there are changes to the schedule, updated notices will be delivered to your door. After swabbing is complete: Residents and businesses may experience some water discolouration for short durations. The city suggests you follow these guidelines once watermain swabbing is completed: Turn on a cold water tap and let the water run for a few minutes. Do not choose a tap that has a water filter connected to it, or the sediment may clog your filter. Collect some water in a light-coloured cup or container to see if it is clear. The water may be cloudy because air captured in the water forms tiny bubbles. These bubbles are harmless and will disappear if the water sits for a few minutes.
