Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Upper Salmon area of Central Newfoundland that controlled releases of water have ended at the North Salmon Dam spillway into the North Salmon River. Additional releases are not anticipated at this time.

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is also advising residents, cabin owners and travellers that the company may soon be required to release water at the Victoria Lake and Victoria River area in southwestern Newfoundland at the Victoria Dam Spillway. Releases could begin at any time.

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