The Brazos River will crest today at 34.5’ in Richmond, TX and water levels are forecasted to remain elevated throughout the week. The LID 15 drainage system continues to operate normally with gravity flow. Additional rainfall this week will not require the pump station to operate if the Brazos River gage remains in the low 30’s. The LID 15 pump stations and portable pumps have been tested, and operators are on stand-by if the forecast changes.
During any heavy rain event there may be street ponding or flooding if the storm drains are overwhelmed and backed up. As rainfall decreases, the storm sewers will catch up and any water in the streets will recede. Never drive into high water.
