UPDATE – June 22

Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Star Lake area of Central Newfoundland that controlled releases of water have ceased at Star Lake. The Company is no longer releasing water at Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Red Indian Lake, however controlled releases could begin again if the area experienced heavy rainfall. Star Lake is a relatively small reservoir which fills most years and subsequently spills for short periods. The plant operates 24 hours per day at maximum capacity.

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