LOCKPORT, MB, May 24, 2024
/CNW/ - Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to
advise boat and property owners on the Red River that, due to
significant rainfall in the forecast today through Saturday, the
water level will be lowered between the St. Andrews Lock and Dam in
Lockport and Winnipeg. Depending on the amount of rainfall,
a section of the movable dam may need to be removed if water levels
increase rapidly in response to the rainfall.
Waters downstream and in proximity to the dam should always be
treated as dangerous but can become even more so as water levels
increase.
Owners of vessels, barges and all property on the Red River and
its tributaries are advised to protect their property.
PSPC encourages users to exercise caution when navigating in the
area of the dam and the Red River, in the vicinity of Lister
Rapids, due to fluctuating water levels and debris.
