Manitobans Asked to Stay Off Assinibione River During Annual Water Reduction

Manitoba reports the outflow from the Shellmouth Reservoir will be increasing from 100 to 800 cubic feet per second, as part of the annual reduction from the upper Assiniboine River.

This will result in a two-to-three foot increase from the Shellmouth Dam to Russell, and one-to-two feet from Russell to Brandon.

The increased outflow will result in potentially hazardous ice conditions from the Shellmouth Reservoir down the Assiniboine River.

Citizens are advised to stay off the river at this time.
