Water Level Update
While the water here at Wasa began rising a few days before, on April 27th the level reached the WLLID’s lake gauge. This was 15 days earlier than last year when water reached the gauge on May 11th, 2025.
As of 20 May, the water level at Wasa was 767.27 masl (meters above sea level), which was not reached last year until June 3.
Today’s water level is 0.50 meters (1 foot 8 inches) higher than the same date in 2025.
The graph below shows a comparison of current and last years lake and river levels.
Water level updates will be posted on www.wasalake.ca weekly, daily in June until peak.
Also on 20 May, the Floe Lake snow pack was 32.19 inches (snow water equivalent) which is 115% of normal.
The snow pack level at Floe Lake has a significant impact on the Wasa peak water level.
WLLID expects the peak water level to be higher than last year.
On June 1, we will publish an estimate of the peak water level. It will be posted on the website, www.wasalake.ca.
