[Outcast 1100]

Just caught word that Dickson dam will be increasing their flow to 900m3/sec starting tonight. flowing at approx 250m3/sec now...

Where did you find the advisory? I live below the dam and like to stay informed. Another mismanagement of the stream flow. It's getting old.

I work at the water treatment plant and they call us to let us know about high stream flows. just phone the Dickson dam and they should let you know.

Latest info as of 630 pm is that they are increasing the flows to 1400m3/sec tonight, glennifer lake influent is 2200m3/sec and rising rapidly.

PM me for phone number for the dam if you wish.

How is preparing for the deluge of water a mismanagement of stream flows?.....if they don't control levels ahead of what's coming then they may as well all pack up and leave.
