WAUSAU - As it gets warmer in north central Wisconsin, melting snow will cause more runoff water. This could mean an increased flow on rivers. Wisconsin Public Service wants people to be aware.
"With the spring runoff, that flows are going to be picking up," said WPS Regional Generation Supervisor Brad Menning. "Wisconsin Public Service operates eight hydros in north central Wisconsin. And as the weather starts to get better and fishermen want to get out and other recreational people want to start enjoying the waters, we want to remind people to stay at a safe distance."
Increased river flow could mean rivers become more dangerous this time of year. WPS workers say people need to be careful around dams.
