DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) _ The floodwater diversion outlets on the

west and east ends of Devils Lake are being shut down for the year.

State Water Commission engineer Bruce Engelhardt says that much colder temperatures are expected next week and

officials don't want to take any chances with the weather damaging

equipment.

Engelhardt says the two outlets took about a foot of water off

the lake this year. The west-end outlet started operations for the

season in April. The new east-end outlet did not come online until

June, and it had to be shut down for a few days last month for

repairs.
