Public Safety Advisory – Controlled Water Release Central Newfoundland

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travelers in the Granite Canal area accessed from Central Newfoundland that there is no longer the potential to release water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure or at the Granite Overflow Dykes along the Burnt Dam access road into Grey River at this time.

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is also advising residents, cabin owners and travelers that due to high water levels and flows from spring runoff, the company is continuing to release water in the Star Lake area of Central Newfoundland at the Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Beothuk Lake. People are advised to use the area with great caution as water levels and flows will be higher than normal and may be unpredictable.
