Lake Banook Dam
The Halifax Regional Municipality will be lowering the Lake Banook dam to prepare for the rain expected this evening. The purpose of lowering the dam is to mitigate possible flooding upstream. Once lowered, there will be an increase in water flow downstream of the dam, in the areas of Sullivan’s Pond and Martin’s Park in Dartmouth Cove.
Residents should use caution in these areas and maintain a safe distance from the banks. Municipal staff will be monitoring the water levels as the weather progresses.
If you observe extreme flooding, please notify 311.
