Heading out on the water this season? As you enjoy spring and look ahead to summer, please keep safety top of mind around rivers and lakes, especially near hydro dams and generating stations. Cold water and sudden changes in current, depth, or temperature can create hazardous conditions.
Before you head out, remember to:
- Check weather and water conditions before you go and use only approved access points for swimming or boating.
- Stay in designated areas, follow posted signs and never cross barriers or fences.
- Watch for strong currents, slippery shorelines and sudden drop-offs, as conditions can change quickly.
- For your safety, keep a safe distance from all dams and generating stations.
These facilities help power our communities, but water conditions nearby can change quickly, especially in spring when runoff and operations can affect flow and water levels.
