Surge-charged sewer...when more flow enters the sewer system than it can handle. Sump pumps can cause sewer backups, as well as increase wastewater treatment costs. Make sure your sump water goes to your yard and not the sewer system.David Dillner, City Manager City of El Dorado KS @visiteldoradoks

El Dorado lake update: 20,260 CFS inflow and elevation has risen to 1347.81, that’s almost 9 feet above normal pool level. We received another 3+ inches of rainfall today to add to the 4.6 inches earlier this week. Still 5 feet of storage space left.City of El Dorado KS David Dillner, City Manager

El Dorado Lake: A tranquil scene, this flooded vegetation is just across the road from the lush green of the auxiliary spillway where water will flow out of the lake if lake levels rise another 4 feet. Not to worry, 4’ is still a lot of storage space.City of El Dorado KS David Dillner, City Manager

Over 3 inches of rain today, so far. Flows into El Dorado Lake are at 12,820 ft.³/second. For some perspective, that is about 10 swimming pools every second. No worries though, we are only 1 foot above conservation pool, so plenty of storage space left. David Dillner, City Manager City of El Dorado KS

El Dorado lake inflow has climbed to nearly 20,000 ft.³/sec. More relatable, an Olympic size pool holds about 500,000 gallons, so the flow into El Dorado Lake would fill 20 Olympic pools per minute. The lake has come up 6 inches in the last 3 hours. David Dillner, City Manager City of El Dorado KS

Very proud of our water distribution crew! To install two new mag meters for HollyFrontier, required an after hours shut down. We notified affected residents water may be off a few hours. Our NASCAR pit crew had water back on in 47 minutes. Good job guys!@EldoCityMgr City of El Dorado KS

We loved having Cub Scout troop 410 out for a family fishing day at the El Dorado Wetlands & Water Reclamation Facility. What better way to find some normalcy again, than in outdoor activities like fishing! David Dillner, City Manager City of El Dorado KS @visiteldoradoks
