An unplanned drop in water levels on Lake Talon could result in ice safety concerns.
That from the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (MNDMNRF) which says the Lake Talon Dam is currently leaking.
The ministry says it’s due to compromised stop logs, which are allowing water to pass through the dam.
“The lake is currently sitting approximately 20 centimetres lower than normal for this time of year,” states a release. ”Currently, there is no risk of flooding. The ministry is closely monitoring the situation and working to mitigate the leak as much as possible.”
Residents that depend on water from Lake Talon for their homes are being told they may experience issues due to the low water levels.
The ministry also says lake users should exercise special caution on and around the lake especially with unpredictable ice conditions.
Anglers are being advised that fishing near the dam is unsafe and the area should be avoided.
