The National Weather Service has notified the Montgomery County Emergency Management that record levels of water being released upstream from Fall River, Toronto and Elk City Reservoirs will potentially impact Coffeyville.

 

river level is currently 20.9 feet, however, it is expected to rise to 25 feet by Monday based on current conditions and information. The top of the levee is 26.5 feet.

 

At 25 feet the river level will cause flooding of farmlands as water flows over the east bank. Flood waters may begin to impact the area around Wood Street which is located in the far southeast section of Coffeyville.

 

Citizens and businesses need to take whatever precautions they feel necessary and be prepared to evacuate if needed. Sand and bags will be available in the parking lot of the Youth Activities Center at 502 S. Walnut.
