Parks Canada TSW Water Level Report

Parks Canada, in response to the many inquiries and concerns expressed by residents regarding the water levels this year, has issued the attached report - 2010 Water Level Conditions, TSW, Haliburton Area. It provides weather data from this past winter and spring that caused the problems, the current status of the system, and the planned actions for the remainder of the season. A report well worth reading.
