The level of water in Dauphin Lake is below current averages but isn't low.
Some people who have gone to the lake have noticed the levels are lower than they would think it usually is.
Ruth Eden the Acting Assistant Deputy Minister from Manitoba Infrastructure says the levels are where they should be.
“So if you are looking at within the last 8 or 10 years it is low, relatively speaking. But if you are looking at the lake levels over 50 years or 70 years, it actually is within the normal range right now.
Eden shares what range Manitoba infrastructure hopes to keep the lake.
“On June 1st we recorded water level in the lake at 854.9 feet and typically it’s operating where we want the range to be for the lake is somewhere around 854.8."
The water coming from the dam discharging into the Mossey River is very low. Eden says it’s just enough to keep the river healthy.
