January 28, 2025 – Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Granite Canal area accessed from Central Newfoundland that the company has stopped releasing water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure but the potential for additional releases still remains.

The company may be required to release water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure and at the Granite Overflow Dykes along the Burnt Dam access road into Grey River.

Releases at the spillway or overflow dykes may wash out the road to Burnt Dam, located 15.5 km from the Granite turn-off.

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