Public Safety

Details of local low water advisories and responses from South Nation Conservation.

The Spencerville Branch of the Edwardsbrugh Cardinal Public Library was full of excitement today as Fire Chief Brian read No Dragons for Tea and shared fire safety tips with kids.

Although the region received some rainfall recently, it was not enough to reduce the risk of fire or improve water supply conditions. The total burn ban and Level 2 Low Water Advisory remain in effect for Edwardsburgh Cardinal and surrounding areas.

We will share all flood messages and water safety statements on this page to help keep residents informed.

This past March Break was a challenging week with several fatal fires that destroyed multiple families, devastated our communities, and indiscriminately took the lives of children and adults alike. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of everyone impacted by these fires.

The Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinalis taking a significant step to enhance pedestrian safety with the installation of three new Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Pedestrian Crossovers (PXOs) at key locations in Spencerville and Cardinal.

If you own a private well, you know it is important to sample your water regularly. Well water quality may fluctuate seasonally, so the Health Unit recommends testing in the Spring, Summer and Fall. The Township keeps a supply of free water sample kits on hand, but until now, residents would still need to travel to a drop off location in Brockville or Kemptville to have their sample tested.
