TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Weekend rain totals are shown in Graphic-1. Rain chances remain in the forecast today. The middle of the week is expected to be mostly rain-free. National Weather Service (NWS) guidance can be seen in Graphic-2. Looking out a bit further, rain chances return Friday and Saturday; however the forecasted depths are low at this time (less than 1/2 inch)
Current reservoir conditions are shown below. Cedar Creek continues making flood discharges while the pool is above conservation level. The recent rain in the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain watersheds has been enough to temporarily pause water supply releases at both reservoirs. Conditions continue to be monitored and low level releases will be made as necessary 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.
