TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Currently, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making low level flood discharges. The spillway gates at Eagle Mountain are closed; however a small discharge will continue from the overflow spillway until the pool level falls below elevation 649.1 ft-msl. 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.
No measurable rainfall at the TRWD reservoirs yesterday. There is a chance of isolated severe weather today near the Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek watersheds, see Graphic-1. The weekend is expected to be pleasant and rain-free. Please continue to follow the National Weather Service (NWS) and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. This will be the last Reservoir Monitoring Update until conditions dictate otherwise.
