The Brazos River crested again on Sunday, June 16 in Richmond, TX, marking the fifth river crest since the beginning of May. The Brazos River is currently forecasted to continue dropping this week. LID 7 is expected to receive another 3-4 inches of rainfall through Thursday, but lower Brazos River levels will allow the drainage system to operate normally with gravity flow. However, the LID 7 pump station and portable pumps have been tested, and operators are on stand-by if the forecast changes. The latest forecast and information from the National Weather Service is included below.
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.
