TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Currently, Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making flood discharges. Updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
All TRWD lakes (including Marine Creek), trail systems and parks remain open to the public and available for normal recreational activities. However, visitors are subject to all rules, regulations and guidance issued for each specific location either federal, state or local during this period of National Emergency.
TRWD has been notified by the City of Fort Worth Marshal’s office that Lake Worth is open as of yesterday, Monday, March 30.
Yesterday’s rainfall totals can be seen in Graphic-1. The Cedar Creek rain gage recorded over 1.5 inches of rainfall yesterday. Today and tomorrow are expected to be rain-free. This brings the March rain to and end; the National Weather Service (NWS) has prepared Graphic-2 to put into perspective how wet this March and the start of 2020 have been! Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.
