Levels along the Humber River and the lake were high last week, prompting a flood watch.
With a lower than forecasted amount of rain over the weekend and the opening of gates at the Grand Lake Reservoir, water levels are moving down Deer Lake at a good speed. Levels along the Humber River and the lake were high last week, prompting a flood watch. Then, on Friday Deer Lake Power opened two gates due to high water levels and opened two more gates yesterday. Mayor Dean Ball says the town is in a good position at the moment, and the water from the reservoir and snow melt from the Upper Humber is moving almost as fast as it is going into the lake. He says many agencies like Deer Lake Power, government, search and rescue, the fire department, public works, as well as residents, were ready for the worst. Ball says it was important to prepare people and he can’t remember the last time four gates were opened. Officials will be keeping a close eye on water levels in Deer Lake this week.
