Flathead Lake users need predictability in water level
Much has been written and said about the Energy Keeper’s management of the water in Flathead Lake during the last three years of their controlling the outflow of the lake.
While there are many factors in the management of the dam, it is abundantly clear that for 84 years the Montana Power Company and its successor, PPL, have successfully managed the summer flows out of the lake under a memorandum of understanding in a way that provided predictable and manageable levels of water thru periods of drought and floods.
Please refer to the chart with this story online that reveals the excellent results the managers of the operation of the dam had prior to 2023. You can also refer to the excellent coverage the Daily Inter Lake has been giving to the predictions and results of the current management has made, recently warning of anticipated lower levels for this July and August.
