Ameren Missouri opens all floodgates at the Bagnell Dam
All 12 gates at the Bagnell Dam at the Ameren Missouri Osage Energy Center were opened to alleviate flooding, according to Ameren Missouri.
As of Sunday, the Lake of the Ozarks levels were at 661.5 feet, officials said.
If rain continues as forecasted, officials said the lake will be above levels reached after floods this summer.
Ameren Missouri urged property owners at the Lake of the Ozarks and along the Osage River to use precautionary measures for the next several days. Property owners are encouraged to turn off electricity running to their docks or any other structures that might be covered by water.
