TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Currently, the Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek spillways are making discharges – see table below. The Eagle Mountain and Bridgeport spillways remain 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. Most of the rain has moved out of the TRWD watersheds, with some morning showers continuing out east this morning. 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.
