Water Levels on the Rise Again


Heavy rains this past weekend are starting to affect water levels on
Lake of the Woods.

The Lake of the Woods Control Board says its noticed an increase of about
eight inches in the past week alone.

As a result, the Control Board has ordered another increase in outflow from
the Norman Dam today.

Water levels below the dam on the Winnipeg River are expected to rise
about eight inches.

The lake is expected to go up another six to eight inches over the next
week as well.
