The water is starting to recede along the lower St. Croix River after a month of rising floods. At Stillwater, it has already come down more than one foot from its crest of 689.20 feet above sea level.

The peak came at about 5 p.m. on Monday, April 24. That puts this year as number seven in the biggest floods since records have been kept.

According to the National Weather Service, the St. Croix at Stillwater should be out of flood stage by the end of next week.
