Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers that water releases have ceased in the Jackson’s Arm and White Bay area on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. The Company has stopped releasing water from its Cat Arm Spillway into the Cat Arm River for the time being. There remains the potential for additional releases if the water level rises again.

People are advised to use reservoir 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.
