Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is advising residents, cabin owners and travellers in the Granite Canal area accessed from Central Newfoundland that due to recent rain and snow melt, the company may be required to release water at the Granite Canal Bypass Structure, the Granite Canal Spillway and the Granite Overflow Dykes along Burnt Dam access road into Grey River. Releases at the spillway or overflow dykes may wash out the road to Burnt Dam, located 15.5 km from the Granite turn-off. Releases may begin at any time in the coming days. 

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