TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Rainfall is expected in the TRWD watersheds starting this afternoon. Heavy rain is possible this evening, especially in the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers areas. Graphic-1 shows the latest National Weather Service (NWS) estimates of rainfall depths through tomorrow afternoon. More rain is expected this weekend as well, see Graphic-2.
Current reservoir conditions are shown below. Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers are at or near full. Additional rainfall is likely to necessitate spillway operations at these reservoirs. Staff will be monitoring the conditions and making discharges as needed to safely move excess water through the system. Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain are currently making low level releases to satisfy water supply targets. 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.
