Reservoir Monitoring Update

By June 25, 2020

TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Currently Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain are making flood discharges.  The Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers spillways remain closed.  Updates to flood discharges will be posted here.

Today is expected to be rain-free in the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain area.  National Weather Service (NWS) guidance in Graphic-1 is showing isolated showers and a possibility of locally heavy rainfall in the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers area.   Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.

Reservoir Projections

  • Bridgeport is expected to continue a slow descent today.
  • Eagle Mountain Lake rose yesterday as water from the Boyd area arrived.  The pool is expected to remain at a fairly constant level today, just under  1-foot over conservation.
  • Lake Worth has leveled out and is expected to remain near 1.4 feet over conservation level today.

Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions.  Next update will come tomorrow morning.  Please check back.
