TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Currently, Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making flood discharges. Any additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
Lake Worth remains closed since Monday, March 16 at 6:30 p.m. The official notification is provided on the City of Fort Worth’s website.
Very little rain has fallen in the watersheds over the last 24-hours. This has provided relief to all the reservoirs and allowed for evacuating floodwater in Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain Lakes as well as Lake Worth. Reservoir staff were able to decrease discharges throughout the day at Cedar Creek. Increases to Richland Chambers discharges were made, please see the table below for the changes in outflows.
Additional rainfall is in the forecast for the TRWD reservoir watersheds tonight, but depths are expected to remain low. Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. The next update will come tomorrow morning, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Please check back.
