The water level in Lake Blackshear is currently 232.89 feet msl (4.1 feet below normal full pool) and is slowly rising. We anticipate the level will continue to rise as increasing flows reach the lake. Peak Flows should be passing through Lake Blackshear Tuesday night. The areas near Campers Haven and the Highway 27 Bridge continue to experience localized flooding. We do not expect the main body of the lake to go above normal pool.We anticipate that over the next few days the Commission will gradually close gates as flows decline and the lake will return to normal pool.

Commission staff will continue to monitor the situation but this is the last Press Release planned regarding this event.

Residents are urged to use caution around waters which will be flowing swifter than normal.
