Operators of the Dickson Dam have begun to release water into the Red Deer River.
After carefully watching the river levels, the Dickson Dam has decided to release a controlled amount of water.
The release is to make room in the reservoir in anticipation of spring runoff.
Residents will notice a slight increase in water levels over the weekend due to this increase.
“It’s not significant where people are going to be concerned or anything,” said Mayor Terry Yemen.
The dam itself was constructed and opened in 1983, creating the reservoir known to most as Glennifer Lake near Innisfail.
