MEDIA ADVISORY (SPRUCE RIVER DAM AT ANGLIN LAKE)

Released on April 19, 2007

As a result of increasing inflows into Anglin Lake the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority will be increasing the outflow from the Spruce River Dam on April 20, 2007.  Outflows will be continued from Emma and Christopher Lakes.  The effect of this operation will be to increase the outflows from Christopher and Anglin lakes from 3.4 cubic metres per second (m3/sec) to 7.1 m3/sec.  These flows are approximately 80 per cent of the peak flows released in May 2006.
 
Downstream areas affected include Christopher Creek within the RM of Paddockwood and Lakeland, and the Spruce River/Little Red River within the RM of Buckland and the Little Red River First Nation.  People living along these areas are advised to take precautions aimed at protecting their property from increased flows.

The operations are intended to minimize the increase in the lake levels with the spring runoff presently flowing into the three lakes.

It is expected that high flows will continue through the spring melt and then be gradually reduced as lake level conditions improve.  The Saskatchewan Watershed Authority will monitor lake levels and any downstream impacts on an ongoing basis.
