The Lake of the Woods Control Board will be increasing outflow from the Norman Dam into the Winnipeg River once again this week.

The Control Board says due to recent wet weather, they will be increasing the amount of water through the Norman Dam to 1250 cubic meters per second.

That's an increase from the current level of 1150 cubic meters.

The lake rose about two inches this past week and is expected to go up another two to four inches during the next seven days.
