Update to Advisory: No longer potential for water release in Granite Canal area 

November 29, 2024

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travelers in the Granite Canal area accessed from Central Newfoundland that there is no longer the potential to release water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure or at the Granite Overflow Dykes along the Burnt Dam access road into Grey River at this time.


Previous Update: November 25, 2024

Residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Granite Canal area accessed from central Newfoundland are advised that Hydro may soon be required to release water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure or the Granite overflow dykes into the Grey River. Releases at the Granite overflow dykes could potentially wash out the road to Burnt Dam, located 15.5 km from the Granite turn-off. Releases could begin at any time.

Please use these areas with great caution as water levels and flows may be higher than normal and may be unpredictable.
