Reservoir Monitoring Update

By February 27, 2020

TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Current reservoir conditions are provided below.  Currently, Eagle Mountain and Richland-Chambers are making flood discharges.  Please note the change in discharge at Cedar Creek.  Any additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.

The remainder of the week and the weekend are expected to remain dry.  Rain chances return early next week, with possible depths of between 0.5″ and 1.5″ within the TRWD watersheds.  See 5-day QPF in Graphic 1 below.  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.
