HEBB LAKE DAM UPDATE
(Issued at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20, 2023)

Water levels across the province continue to be higher then normal.

While Hebb Lake Dam remains within its normal operating range, the Public Service Commission of Bridgewater (PSCB) is going to proactively carry out an additional gradual release water to allow the dam to transition into its normal winter operating range slightly earlier than normal.

Doing so will ensure that there is sufficient space for any upcoming hurricanes or severe rain events that might impact our region.

As part of this process, the PSCB will remove a log from the dam on Thursday, September 21, 2023 -- this will bring the total logs removed to two. The PSCB had previously removed a log on August 23, 2023, also for the purposes of allowing a slow release of water.
