State officials opened the west-end outlet at Devils Lake on Thursday to begin outflows into the Sheyenne River system, which now is low enough to take in some more water.

Letter to the editor: Devils Lake outlet just isn’t enough to handle problem

I drove up to Baldhill Dam April 9 and watched as 2,300 cubic feet per second of water exploded over the spillway into the Sheyenne River. Later, at home south of Valley City, the Sheyenne still flooded some of my pasture. In late fall, of course, the river should be flowing at its normal 30 cfs.

Overland flooding isolated DeAnn and Troy Diegel’s home here for six weeks in spring 2009. Now, the Diegels and other Harwood residents are reluctantly waiting for it to happen again. The Sheyenne River burst its banks by Thursday morning near Cass County Road 20, driving water overland more than a mile away in some places.

After 2009, Valley City ready in case forecasts get worse

After 2009, Valley City ready in case forecasts get worse For a sense of how people are girding for the potential of another big flood here, look to the hardware store. Customers are coming in to Ace Hardware to shop for sump pumps, but few are buying yet, said owner Larry Lindeman. They just want to make sure pumps are in stock, a precaution that would have been rare if the Sheyenne River not hit a record crest in 2009.

Devils Lake overflow real threat, officials say

Devils Lake is given a 10 percent chance by 2019 of overflowing its natural outlet and spilling into the Sheyenne River, according to preliminary figures discussed Tuesday.
