Due to the number of rain events we’ve had this spring, we’ve received calls regarding lake levels and outlet structure operations from residents living on Prior Lake. The outlet structure is operating at capacity and has been. There have also been questions about opening the outlet structure’s lower gate to increase the amount of flow out of the lake. Opening the lower gate does not increase discharge capacity at current lake elevations. The lower gate is effective and typically opened when the water level is below 902.5 — only in March or April during spring snowmelt. Sandbags are available with the City of Prior Lake.
