Valley City  (CSi)  With the recent significant rain, and another rain event in the forecast for July 5, the Army Corps is adjusting the releases from Baldhill Dam.

Inflows are expected to increase to 3,000 cfs within the next days as the Lake Ashtabula level rises from water flowing  in from  the upper Sheyenne River Basin, with expectations of a pool level on the lake to increase by about a foot.

Outflows from Baldhill Dam will be increased to 2,400 cfs, which is expected to raise the level on the Sheyenne River through Valley City to 11 and a half feet.

Property owners at Lake Ashtabula should keep an eye on the rising lake level.
