The Assiniboine River has peaked at all points between the Shellmouth Dam and Brandon, a provincial spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
“Water levels are within the banks between Shellmouth Dam and Virden,” the spokesperson said in an email.
“Level will fall down to the bankfull levels between Griswold and Brandon in the coming day or two.”
On April 12, Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure issued a flood warning along the river from the dam to the city after the outflow from the Shellmouth Reservoir was tripled to make room for spring runoff.
Environment Canada’s monitoring station for the Assiniboine River in Brandon lists the water having peaked at 1,175.98 feet above sea level on April 19.
The water level then dropped to 1,175.63 feet by April 25 before rising once again. As of Tuesday at 3 p.m., the water level had reached 1,175.83 feet.
As of Tuesday afternoon, flood warnings were still in effect for the Assiniboine River north of Griswold and in Brandon.
