According to Stutsman County Commissioner Jerry Bergquist, $70,000 has been contributed for the $122,100 local share for a feasibility study on how to move water from basins in western Stutsman County and Crystal Springs Lake.
The feasibility study will show the benefits of removing excess waters, how much of the watershed is contributing to flooding, regulatory issues, and alternative options to remove water and the cost to do so. The study will also help determine what the cost is to move water in different directions.
Currently, water levels at Crystal Springs Lake have increased enough to submerge property, as the lake water has risen above one boathouse on the edge of the lake.
