Inondations à Rigaud : amorce d’une décrue lente et poursuite des opérations de sécurité civile

Les données actuelles indiquent une stabilisation du niveau de l’eau, laissant entrevoir le début d’une décrue lente. Bien qu’il s’agisse d’une évolution positive, les secteurs inondés demeureront affectés pour plusieurs jours.

La Ville confirme également que le service d’eau a été rétabli pour les résidences desservies par le réseau d’aqueduc privé du chemin de la Baie-Quesnel. La situation, causée par la crue ayant affecté les installations électriques du puits, est maintenant résolue. Nous tenons à remercier notre équipe technique et les intervenants mobilisés, qui ont travaillé sans relâche afin de rétablir la situation dans les meilleurs délais.

L’Organisation multimunicipale de sécurité civile demeure pleinement mobilisée et le restera aussi longtemps que nécessaire afin d’assurer la sécurité et le soutien des citoyennes et citoyens sinistrés. Les prochains jours permettront de mieux évaluer l’ampleur des impacts sur le territoire et d’ajuster les interventions en conséquence.

Rigaud, April 23, 2026 — The City of Rigaud is providing an update on the current flooding situation and the ongoing civil security operations across its territory. This release follows the press briefing held today at 3:00 p.m. in Rigaud, during which the City presented the evolution of the situation and the interventions currently underway.

We thank the affected residents for their patience, cooperation, and solidarity during this difficult time.

We also wish to highlight the commitment of responders on the ground, notably the Rigaud Fire Department, the Sûreté du Québec, and the volunteers from Ambulance Saint-Jean, whose support contributes both to operations and to the comfort of those affected.

The City thanks the participating municipalities in the Intermunicipal Civil Security Agreement for their rapid and effective support. The day after signing this agreement, circumstances unexpectedly provided a meaningful opportunity to put it to the test—and here we are. Pooling resources has enabled a rapid, coordinated response in accordance with the Civil Protection Act aimed at strengthening disaster resilience. The current situation provides a concrete example of this agreement in action.

Special thanks are also extended to municipal employees, who have remained fully mobilized to monitor the situation and ensure the timely dissemination of information.

The City would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Fleury Michon Amérique, which is providing food support to responders, as well as the assistance from the municipalities of Les Coteaux and Saint-Zotique under the fire service mutual aid agreement.

Finally, the City wishes to highlight the continued support of the Québec Ministry of Public Security, particularly the civil security advisors from the Montérégie and Estrie regional office, as well as the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM, for their expertise and assistance.

Current data indicate that water levels have stabilized, suggesting the beginning of a slow recession. Although this represents a positive development, flooded areas will remain affected for several days.

The City also confirms that water service has been restored for residences supplied by the private aqueduct network on Chemin de la Baie-Quesnel. The situation, caused by flooding that affected the well’s electrical installations, has now been resolved. We would like to thank our technical team and the responders involved, who worked tirelessly to restore service as quickly as possible.

The Multimunicipal Civil Security Organization remains fully mobilized and will continue its efforts as long as necessary to ensure the safety and support of affected residents. The coming days will allow for a clearer assessment of the extent of impacts across the territory and adjustments to response actions as needed.
