More mandatory evacuations notices have been handed out to people living near the breach at Hoop and Holler Bend.

Seven families left their homes on Saturday and 14 more are on standby to leave as flood waters continue to move.

"Now when you actually see something moving it's almost a bit of relief, but at the same time it's fear," says Glen Weibe who lives in Newton.

Weibe says he's been monitoring water levels since it is heading his way. He says he's afraid culverts will not be able to handle the overflow and homes will be flooded.

The province says roads are being cut as necessary to divert water away from homes. In Newton, a backhoe is standing by for that exact reason.

"No homes have been flooded," says Premier Greg Selinger. "A couple have been surrounded by water but they've been protected by aquadams and sandbags."

Selinger says water is still flowing slowly from the breach and people are working shoulder to shoulder to prevent damage.

"Things are relatively stable at the moment and are being monitored very carefully," says the premier.

Laurie Smith left her home Tuesday night but comes back to the area periodically just to check on water levels.

"What I feel sorry for are those people who aren't going to have a house to go back to," says Smith.

The premier says soldiers continue to protect the homes most vulnerable with aquadams.

Flood forecasters say water is flowing through the breach at about 400 cubic feet per second. Water is flowing across fields and towards the Elm River channel and will eventually make its way into the La Salle River.

Officials say water levels on the Assiniboine River downstream of the breach have not risen.

Water has travelled about 3.2 kilometres so far.
