Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in Central Newfoundland that the rain forecasted for early this week may require controlled releases of water.

In the Star Lake area in Central Newfoundland, the Company may release water at the Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Red Indian Lake.

People are advised to use reservoir areas with great caution as water levels and flows are unpredictable.
