- Less than one inch of rain fell over the last 24-hours across all TRWD watersheds, see Graphic-1.
- Rain has moved out of the area as of Wednesday morning.
- Spillway operations will continue at Richland-Chambers to manage lake levels.
- Lake Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain are not expected to be impacted by current rainfall.
Projections
- Richland-Chambers is above conservation, but continues to manage lake levels with low-level spillway discharges. Note the updated discharge rate at Richland-Chambers as of 11am today.
