HBM Township - Storm Update

A huge thank you to all our dedicated Public Works and HydroOne crews who have been working around the clock to restore services throughout our community. Your tireless efforts in the face of challenging conditions do not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you’ve done to help us recover.

The Township of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen (HBM) has maintained the Declaration of Significant Weather Event due to another weather system to impact our area tomorrow morning through to Thursday morning, however, it will not be nearly as significant as the ice storm from this past weekend.

As per Environment Canada's April 1, 2025 @ 5:46 am weather statement; anticipate freezing rain, followed by significant rainfall midweek. The rain, at times heavy, is forecast to total amounts 20 to 40 mm.

Public Works crews have cleared all municipally maintained roadways for two-lane traffic.

HBM residents can deposit storm debris, branches, and brush (no tree trunks or stumps) at the 6th Line Transfer Stations for free. In addition, brush can be dropped off at 647 County Road 46, Peterborough County Depot location for free until April 14th. Residents are asked to place storm debris, brush in the designated areas, and follow depot signage.

We remind all to exercise caution while clearing brush and travelling to the different locations.

The Cordova Mines Library’s power has been restored and it has been added to our warming and electrical device charging centres.
