The high water level at Nellie Lake that we told you about a couple weeks ago, results in a state of emergency declared by the town of Iroquois Falls.
In fact, says Mayor Tory Delaurier in a statement to residents around the lake, the water is higher.
Right off the top, he’s asking power boaters to stay off the lake.
And he and his council have a number of high-water concerns:
 The containment of sewage due to flooded septic systems on Nellie Lake
 The threat to potable water due to contamination
 Concerns for the safety and well-being of volunteers assisting with the flooding.
 Concerns with the ability of the municipality to deliver services to Nellie Lake residents should the flooding persist.
 Threats to tourism businesses that thrive on the natural beauty of the Nellie Lake area
All except the northern end of Nellie Lake is inside Iroquois Falls municipal boundaries.
