Lake Manitoba water levels are changing.

Manitoba Infrastructure says that discharge through the Fairford River Water Control Structure starts today. 

Flows will be reduced to approximately 2,000 cubic feet per second from the current flow of approximately 3,500 cfs. 

The adjusted flow will stay in effect until Lake Manitoba Levels are within the desired water level range of 810.5 to 812.5 feet.

It will take around one week to complete the flow reduction operation.

The discharge will reduce lake levels to 60 per cent of its full capacity.
