The TSW continues to deal with high levels and flows throughout the Trent River basin. Our reservoirs remain well above normal in most cases and the drawdown is continuing slowly. Heavy rainfall in some localities over the weekend caused levels to rise again on some lakes. Downstream, the Kawartha Lakes are above normal levels, and the flows on the Otonabee and Trent Rivers are higher than normal as well. In Minden the Gull River continues to be high as TSW is drawing water off the upstream reservoirs with the goal of bringing them down to normal seasonal levels.
