Reservoir Monitoring Update

By June 27, 2019

TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Similar to Tuesday, late afternoon pop-up showers were present in the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers watersheds.  The Eagle Mountain watershed received some light rainfall as well, see Graphic 1.  Today is expected to be partly sunny and rain free in the TRWD watersheds.  Follow the National Weather Service (NWS) and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.

All TRWD reservoirs except Bridgeport are discharging water.  TRWD will continue to evaluate conditions at the reservoirs and downstream to determine the safest way to manage the excess flood water.

Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. Until further notice, updates will be provided one time per day.  Please check back tomorrow for additional updates.
