TRWD staff continues to monitor conditions in the TRWD reservoir watersheds 24 hours a day. See Graphic-1 for the rainfall totals received overnight in the TRWD watersheds. Once again, the Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek watersheds received the bulk of the rain.
Graphic-1. 24-hr Observed Rainfall Map
Reservoir Projections
- Bridgeport – Pool is near conservation. Discharges have been reduced.
- Eagle Mountain – The current discharges will continue as water from Bridgeport is being passed through. After a slight rise from the overnight rainfall, pool should begin to slowly recede with the reduction of Bridgeport releases.
- Lake Worth – Pool is expected to remain around 594.3 ft-msl until there is a change in Eagle Mountain discharges.
- Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers – Pools are rising due to overnight rainfall. No crest predictions available at this time. Discharges will continue as the pools are being returned to conservation level.
Please note that reservoir projections are barring additional rainfall and subject to change. TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. Additional updates will be provided here if conditions dictate. Please check back.
