Lake Level Update – June 28, 2017

Yesterday afternoon, the low-flow gate of the Prior Lake Outlet Structure was closed, given the continued fall in the level of Prior Lake.  The District is required to close the gate when it reaches 902.50 feet above sea level. As of 8:00 a.m. this morning, Prior Lake was at 902.62 feet. The District was granted permission by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to open the low-flow gate on April 25 when Prior Lake was at 902.87 feet and the low-flow gate remained open until yesterday afternoon.
