Hydro is responding to rapidly rising water levels at Beothuk Lake as a result of the major rainfall event.
Newfoundland & Labrador Hydro is advising cabin owners in the area of Beothuk Lake, previously known as Red Indian Lake, of an increased risk of flooding within the next 24-48 hours. In particular, the risk of flooding is highest in Sandy Point (west side of lake), Buchan's Landing, and other areas that are closer to the lake shoreline. NL Hydro says they are experiencing unprecedented water levels building in the lake and people are urged to use great caution as water levels will be higher than normal and may be unpredictable.
NL Hyrdo says that there was a sharp rise in lake levels on Thursday. Despite water management efforts, the increasing lake level has become a concern as the lake could reach its summer full supply levels as early as Friday morning.
The Crown corporation has also mobilized its emergency response teams and are coordinating with the provincial government and local communities.
