While Red Lake River remains relatively high, Grand Cities staff don t foresee further drought measures
Grand Forks drought plan calls for harsher conservation measures than the ones city leaders have put into place thus far, and city utility staff indicated that s because there s still plenty of water in the Red Lake River, from which the city gets most of its supply. Staff at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates a dam at the river s source, plan to keep the dam open enough to, at least theoretically, fulfil Grand Forks and East Grand Forks typical water demands for the time being. It s why Grand Forks and East Grand Forks don t plan to ask residents to further restrict their water usage for the moment.
