Unusually hot and dry conditions have made it necessary to keep operations at SKQ Dam at license-required minimums. Flathead Lake was being filled as aggressively as possible while avoiding flood control limits, but despite these actions, the lake will not reach full pool this summer. Energy Keepers expected the lake to reach peak levels on June 19 and then begin dropping.
