Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 21st, 2025

It’s now been a full week since Carleton Place residents were asked to limit their water usage. According to city council members, it’s part of an urgent effort to conserve water. They need more time to ensure that there are enough reserves in the water distribution system to accommodate for present and future emergency services. CTV’s Ted Raymond fills us in on the details. Meantime, the MPP for Ottawa Centre plans to bring a motion to Queen’s Park this Fall, a proposal that would cap apartment temperatures at 26 degrees Celsius. However, one landlord advocacy group says building owners will need to support expensive and time-consuming upgrades in order for these goals to be achievable. Chris Holski chats with David Lyman, the Vice-President of the Eastern Ontario Landlord Organization.
