Operators of the Dickson Dam are increasing flows as they anticipate more than 100 millimetres of rain in the next 24 to 48 hours upstream of the dam.
However, these flows are not expected to cause any concerns downstream of the dam.
The Town of Drumheller has been notified by operators that the flow into the Dickson Dam will increase by 700 cubic metres/second by early Sunday.
They expect the release from the dam to increase to 100 cubic metres/ second on Saturday and peak at 350 cubic metres/second on Sunday.
This forecast is based on the latest information they have available and will be updated on Saturday.
