Coffeyville Flood Update 8:30pm Sunday

 

City of Coffeyville Notice as of 8:30pm Sunday 5-26:

 

The current river level is 20.7 feet.  According to the latest information from the National Weather Service the river in Coffeyville is expected to crest at 25.1 feet Monday evening.  The river level in Independence had a significant rise this afternoon, and the City of Coffeyville is closely monitoring this.   

 

Citizens and businesses in flood prone areas (similar to levels experienced in 2007) should have an evacuation plan ready in the event an evacuation becomes necessary in Coffeyville.  If evacuation is required, emergency personnel will make contact with citizens and businesses and shelters will be established.

 

The Water Treatment Plant is running as normal and has ramped up production.  There are no plans to shut the plant down, however, it would be necessary if the river level reaches 27 feet.

 

There are currently no street or road closures in the city limits.  East 8th Street past the levee is closed as is Sunflower north of the refinery.  Due to flooding in surrounding areas, highways may be impacted.  If you are traveling, call 511 for latest conditions.
