* The state of emergency in Ottawa is upheld, as it is provincially.
* Water consumption is also rising in Ottawa, putting extra demands on energy-hungry filtration and pumping stations. Please help us save electricity by conserving water.
* The conservation of power is still critical. Residents, businesses and governments are asked to continue reducing their hydro consumption by 50 per cent.
* The province's hydro-generating plants are not yet at full capacity.
* The City of Ottawa is slowly phasing in services that require little or no power consumption.
