Water levels in all areas along the St. John River basin continue to decrease and are returning to normal levels.
Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart says water flows this year looked nothing like 2018 and 2019, which saw record flooding that destroyed homes and cottages and closed roads and highways.
The annual River Watch Program started March 9 and provided information on the status of rivers and the potential for ice jams and other flood issues.
This year saw a gradual decline in water levels with no major ice jams reported.
