Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers that as a result of recent rainfall and ongoing snow melt there is potential for controlled releases at several locations on the system.

• In the Burnt Pond and White Bear River areas of Central and Southern Newfoundland, controlled releases may be required at the Burnt Dam Spillway into the White Bear River
• In the Granite Canal area accessed from Central Newfoundland, releases may be required at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure, at the Granite Canal Spillway, and at the Granite Overflow Dykes along Burnt Dam access road and into Grey River
• In the Upper Salmon area of Central Newfoundland, releases may be required at North Salmon Dam Spillway into the North Salmon River or West Salmon Dam Spillway into the West Salmon River.

People are advised to use these areas with great caution as water levels and flows are higher than normal and may be unpredictable. Water releases at spillways could begin at any time.
