WINSLOW -- The drawdown of the Sebasticook River might take another week, depending on the amount of rainfall for the week, a spokesman for FPL Energy said Wednesday.

FPL owns the Fort Halifax Dam, which was breached last week to allow fish passage upstream.

"It's a function of Mother Nature at this point," Al Wiley said of the temporary delay in the drawdown and dam's dismantling.

"With minimal rains, a week is realistic," he said.

The Kennebec Emergency Management Agency has set up a 24-hour command center on Dallaire Street to address residents' concerns.

Contacted there Wednesday afternoon, Winslow police officer Brandon Lund said no residents have called with concerns during the past two days. The toll-free number for Dallaire Street residents and their families is 649-7449.

The evacuation came late Friday night, several hours after instruments detected a shift in the steep slope down the street to the river.
