TRWD staff continues to monitor conditions in the District reservoir watersheds 24 hours a day. Conditions are to a point where the reservoirs are near conservation level and not anticipated to rise to a level requiring flood discharges or within 4″ of conservation level and on the decline. Low level controlled releases at Eagle Mountain Lake will continue until the reservoir is at or near conservation level. With that being said, this will be the final update for this event. Updates will resume if and when weather/reservoir conditions dictate.
