Snow conditions continue to be below normal for this time of year, according to the Mattagami Region Conservation Authority (MRCA).
With spring on the way, the MRCA has released its latest watershed update. The reports are sent out twice a month until the snow cover is gone.
Along with the low snow depth, the water content variances are 43 to 90 per cent below normal across the Upper Mattagami Watershed.
"Winter drawdown of Mesomikenda, Mattagami Lake, and Peter Long are complete or near-complete. The dams are set up to hold reservoirs at the current elevation or begin a gradual refill in the coming weeks where appropriate, based on current snow values and above-seasonal temperatures. Wawaitin GS (Kenogamissi) will be drawn in the coming weeks as per normal practice in anticipation of the spring melt," it reads.
MRCA and city staff are also closely watching the enclosed portions of Town Creek and Crawford Creek.
