Lake Panorama Association (LPA) general manager John Rutledge said a faulty valve is to blame. He said it happened late Monday night. At its low point, Lake Panorama was down 21 inches. "We had a hydraulic valve develop a slow leak in our dam, which allowed the dam to progressively release more water in an unintended fashion," he said.

Iowa is the 31st state in the country to enact this type of legislation.
