Water levels at Little Red River Park expected to rise

Jun 28, 2022 | 3:00 PM

The Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising that the water levels along Highway 2 north and at Little Red River Park will be rising over the course of the next week.

In response to significant precipitation over the last 10-14 days, the WSA has increased outflows from the Anglin Lake reservoir. The current water level at Anglin Lake is 515.62m and rising, and the full supply limit (F.S.L) for the reservoir is 515.42m.

This means the reservoir is about 20 cm or 7.75 inches above F.S.L.

The operation to increase outflows was conducted by WSA staff on June 27th. Outflows at the Anglin Lake dam will be increased from approximately 8.5 cubic meters per second (cms) to approximately 13.8cms.

This is required to slow the rate of rising in the reservoir and further adjustments may be required.

The water level at Highway 2 North will increase in the next 3-4 days while water levels in Little Red River Park will increase in the next 5-7 days. Due to the increased release, out-of-bank flow and flooding adjacent to the river are possible.

The WSA said they will continue to monitor the situation closely and will make adjustments to outflows as required.
