TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Yesterday’s rainfall totals can be seen in Graphic-1 below. An additional 1 to 2″ of rain is expected through Sunday. Graphic-2 shows the National Weather Service (NWS) guidance for today and the weekend.
Current reservoir conditions are shown below. Cedar Creek began low level discharges yesterday afternoon. Richland-Chambers is near full and additional rainfall is likely to necessitate spillway operations. At this time Lake Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain Lake are not expected to reach conservation level. Staff will be monitoring the conditions and making discharges as needed to safely move excess water through the system. Updates to lake status and flood discharges will be posted here.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. Updates will be added here as conditions dictate, please check back.
