Mikayela Munson (left) and Jim Tatge, engineer technicians with the City of Mankato, have been patrolling the levee/dike system twice a day in the aftermath of heavy rains. Plans are in place to begin 24-hour patrols if the Minnesota River stage exceeds 25 feet. It is expected to crest at around 25.2 feet on Sunday afternoon, barring any more heavy rain events.
