The low flow gate on the Prior Lake Outlet Structure was fully opened this week to provide some extra storage on Prior Lake as we head into the spring melt season.
The low flow gate operates best when the lake level is between 902.0 and 903.0 and is managed based on the District’s outlet operations policy which is approved by the DNR. For more information on the outlet structure and the low-flow gate check out the StoryMap on our website here.
