Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travelers that due to recent rainfall and runoff from snowmelt, the Company is releasing water at the following locations:

• in the Jackson’s Arm and White Bay area on the island’s Northwest Coast, at the Cat Arm Spillway into the Cat Arm River;
• in the Star Lake area of Central Newfoundland at the Star Lake Spillway into Star Brook and then Beothuk Lake;
• in the Hinds Lake area of Western Newfoundland at Hinds Lake Spillway through Hinds Brook into Grand Lake.

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