TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Current reservoir conditions are below.  Currently, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making flood discharges.    Any updates to flood discharges will be posted here.

There was light rain yesterday in the TRWD watersheds, see Graphic-1.  The remainder of the week is expected to remain dry.  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. The next update will come tomorrow morning, unless conditions dictate otherwise.  Please check back.
