The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removed the remaining flood control restrictions on Flathead Lake clearing the way for the lake to reach full pool of 2,893 feet. Energy Keepers Inc. managers will continue with historically low outflows to preserve the remaining runoff. Reaching full pool remains a high likelihood based on forecasts even though the summer of 2024 is expected to be a dry year.
“Lake levels will likely reach full pool by mid-June. It’s also very likely lake levels will begin to fall as the dry summer conditions settle in for the season,” said Brian Lipscomb, CEO of Energy Keepers Inc. “We’ll be ready to contend with whatever conditions come forward.”

The overall water supply forecasts for May to September increased slightly, mostly increasing streamflow forecasts for May and June. Due to continued dry basin conditions, coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on May 14, 2024 allowed EKI to begin refill of Flathead Lake with minimal impacts to flood risk. Under normal conditions flood risk management requires Flathead Lake being below 2890’ at the end of May.
SKQ project outflows and the Flathead Lake elevation are dependent on many variables including lake inflows, weather, the demand for electricity, and non-power constraints such as the downstream fishery and flood risk management needs.
