Water levels on Lake of the Woods are starting to stabilize after rising steadily over over the past few weeks.
The Lake of the Woods Control board says water levels rose just a half an inch in the
past week and are expected to remain stable or decrease slightly over the next seven
days.
To cope with the higher water levels, the Control board has authorized yet another
increase in outflow from the Norman Dam into the Winnipeg River today.
Outflow will go from 730 to 800 cubic meters per second.
Water levels below the dam and downstream at Minaki are expected to rise
about six inches as a result of the increase in outflow.
