TRWD flood monitoring staff continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Conditions are to a point where the reservoirs are either below conservation level and not expected to reach conservation level at this time or within 4″ of conservation level and on the decline. Low level controlled releases at Eagle Mountain Lake and Cedar Creek Reservoir will continue until the two reservoirs are 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.
