The Portage Diversion opened this morning – right now the flow is 3,637 cfs. The flow on the Assiniboine at Holland has reached 11,195 cfs and is rising. The flow on the Assiniboine just downstream of Portage is 6,039 cfs. So flow in the Diversion will rise in coming hours / days.
The ALMS executive has sent a request to Minister of Infrasture, Schuler, advising to release more water through the Fairford Water Control System to offset the inflow from the Diversion and the expected increase from the Waterhen River.
