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.
Overnight rainfall totals can be seen in Graphic-1 below. The good news is that rain chances are low for the upcoming work week, see Graphic-2 for National Weather Service (NWS) guidance. TRWD reservoirs will continue to pass flood water over the coming days with the goal of getting all reservoirs back to conservation level and reducing discharge rates when possible. 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 this evening, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Please check back.
