Crews have lowered water levels by about a foot and are clearing debris while working with state and local agencies.
Officials say conditions at the Lake Sylvia Dam have improved enough to downgrade the alert, but the situation is still being closely monitored. Recent heavy rain pushed water levels up and stressed the nearly 100-year-old dam, leading to the closure of Lake Sylvia State Park and surrounding trails. Crews have lowered water levels by about a foot and are clearing debris while working with state and local agencies. People living downstream along Sylvia Creek should remain alert for minor flooding, especially with more rain in the forecast.
