Two families are spending a couple of days away from their flooded apartment units on Cannifton Road in Belleville.
Senior Fire Prevention Officer Dave McMullen says a couple in their 60’s and a young family with an 18 month-old child were put up in hotel rooms after the incident late yesterday afternoon.
Water from the bathroom in a second floor apartment at 104 Cannifton soaked into the two apartments below, and the tenants were moved out because of electrical safety concerns.
McMullen says he doesn’t yet know the cause of the water problem, and expects the residents can return home tomorrow or Friday after the excess water is cleaned up.
