CUERO, TX (July 4, 2025) – As heavy rainfall affects much of the Hill Country and San Antonio area this Independence Day, the DeWitt County Office of Emergency Management and Floodplain Administration is keeping a close eye on flood conditions and water levels—reassuring residents that local river activity remains normal.
According to the latest data shared by Floodplain Administrator Billy Jordan, Canyon Lake is currently measured at 877.87 feet, which stands 31.13 feet below its typical pool level of 909 feet. While upstream rainfall is expected to increase inflows into the lake and surrounding rivers in the coming days, officials say there are no immediate concerns for DeWitt County.
“This isn’t cause for alarm, but it’s important that our community remains aware,” posted Jordan. “We’re watching the forecast, and our thoughts are with those upstream already impacted by high water and flooding.”
Local emergency officials urge residents to stay informed as the situation develops. They recommend taking a few proactive steps in case conditions shift closer to home: review your emergency plan, check supplies, and monitor official weather and safety updates over the holiday weekend.
With the July Fourth celebrations in full swing, residents are reminded to use caution around rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas where water levels can change unexpectedly.
DeWitt County’s emergency management team will provide additional updates as needed through official channels. For more information and preparedness resources, visit the DeWitt County Office of Emergency Management and Floodplain Administration online at:
