Reservoir Monitoring Update

By June 24, 2019

TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Rainfall totals for yesterday’s storms can be seen in Graphic 1.  Rain chances have been removed from today’s forecast for most of the TRWD watershed area.  Rain chances remain for tomorrow and Wednesday.   Follow the National Weather Service (NWS) and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.

All TRWD reservoirs except Bridgeport are discharging water.  TRWD will continue to evaluate conditions at the reservoirs and downstream to determine the safest way to manage the excess flood water.

Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. Until further notice, updates will be provided one time per day.  Please check back tomorrow for additional updates.
