Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Jackson’s Arm and White Bay area on the island’s Northwest Coast that the company has stopped spilling water at the Cat Arm Spillway into the Cat Arm River. Water levels remain high however, and the potential for further spill remains and could resume at any time.

In addition, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers that due to high reservoir levels, the Company may be required to release water at the following locations. Releases may begin at any time.

• In the Hinds Lake area of Western Newfoundland at Hinds Lake Spillway through Hinds Brook into Grand Lake;
• In the Star Lake area of Central Newfoundland at the Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Beothuk Lake.

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is also advising residents, cabin owners and travellers that water releases are still ongoing in the Upper Salmon area of Central Newfoundland at the North Salmon Dam Spillway into the North Salmon River.

People are advised to use these areas with great caution as water levels and flows will be higher than normal and may be unpredictable.
