The Lake of the Woods Control Board says a return to winter-like conditions over the past week has slowed the spring melt.
As a result water levels on the lake have dropped over the past week by a couple of centimeters and are expected to drop another centimeter or so next week.
Because of the conditions, the Control Board has authorized a couple of small decreases in outflow from the Norman Dam.
The first will take place today, and there will be another similar reduction next Tuesday.
As a result, levels on the Winnipeg River will decrease about 5 centimeters below the dam and 2 centimeters at the Dalles.
