Xcel Energy will conduct a drawdown of the reservoir behind the hydroelectric dam in St. Croix Falls, WI to fix the flashboards that have been damaged during the recent high-water event.

Drawdown will begin 7/10/24, with a rate of six inches per day until a level is reached to repair the boards–flashboard repair is expected to be completed by 7/25/24. Full water levels on the reservoir should be restored by 7/31/24. Landings and campsites in the 10-mile stretch upriver from the dam may be inaccessible.
