WINNIPEG—Manitoba has lost its latest court challenge to stop an outlet in North Dakota from draining lake water which flows into the province.
The Winnipeg Free Press said in a report from Ottawa that the North Dakota Supreme Court told the Manitoba government yesterday that it misinterpreted a previous ruling on how long the outlet could operate.
The state’s highest court had ruled in February that the state acted improperly in loosening some of the environmental standards used to operate the outlet, which drains lake water that eventually flows into Manitoba.
