ALERT: The TSW just issued its 2-week drawdown forecast (see link below).
For Drag/Spruce Lakes the level forecast for Sept 8 is equal to lowest average annual water level, normally not experienced until mid-Oct.
Depending on your individual circumstances you may need to take near term action. Shallow passages, docks, and boat ramp usage/ access will all be affected. Make your plans now. (Yes, this is just a forecast, but it represents TSW's best estimate based on planned drawdowns)

Update from CEWF (cewf.ca)
IMPORTANT
PROPERTY OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF UNUSUALLY LOW WATER LEVELS AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY
Water Levels through out the reservoir area are very low for the date. In most cases our levels are what we would expect in early to mid-September. As a result, we need to be ready to take our fall shoreline management very seriously several weeks early this year. This could mean moving docks and water lines and taking boats out of the water early.
