As of 8:00 pm, the Red Lake River level was at 26.92 feet. Sandbagging and clay dike operations have been or will be complete in vulnerable low-lying affected areas. Sandbagging volunteers and efforts are being suspended. Volunteers will continue to monitor levees and the City of Crookston Emergency Operation Center will continue to constantly monitor river levels. The Crookston Sports Center, 801 Fisher Ave., will remain open as an emergency evacuation center. As river levels continue to rise, further information will be provided.
The City of Crookston is asking the public to limit their water use for the next several days to help take the extra load off the pumps and sewer system.
