TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Currently all TRWD reservoir spillways are closed. There is a small discharge at the Eagle Mountain overflow spillway that will continue until the pool level falls below elevation 649.1 ft-msl. Updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
All TRWD lakes (including Marine Creek), trail systems and parks remain open to the public and available for normal recreational activities. However, visitors are subject to all rules, regulations and guidance issued for each specific location either federal, state or local during this period of National Emergency.

Rainfall totals for the past 24-hours can be seen in Graphic-1, below. So far the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain watersheds have received 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with slightly lower totals at Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek. Rainfall is expected to continue, see Graphic-2 for National Weather Service (NWS) guidance. 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. This will be the last Reservoir Monitoring Update until conditions dictate otherwise.
