All Sugar Lake landowners and SLA members,
As you are no doubt aware, we are experiencing a significant drought that is materially and negatively affecting our current lake level. We are not alone, as this is occurring throughout the state in many lakes. That said, we continue to monitor lake levels and recently reached out to our weir consultant to determine if any review/adjustment to the weir was needed. We have asked this question each of the last three years, but have been unable to make any weir adjustments as we were always within the 50-year average lake level range. This drought will likely change that as we have "unofficially" dropped below the 50-year average. We will communicate with lake-owners/SLA members when we know something. Thanks for your patience.
How much rain do we need to get out of drought? Some interesting info here: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/how-much-rain-does-minnesota-need-to-end-the-severe-drought-conditions
Pray and dance for rain!
