That is the largest amount of water the dam stored at any one time during this high water event, but the dam is constantly allowing water to release.
“The Miami Conservancy District flood protection system is operating as designed, ensuring that communities throughout the region remain protected from high-water events,” said MaryLynn Lodor, general manager at Miami Conservancy District. “Our team continues to monitor conditions and will provide updates as necessary.”
The dam is expected to no longer store flood waters sometime Friday afternoon.
