Upper & Lower Goldwater Dams: (Satellite) I could not find a name for the creek that runs through here.
Willow Creek Reservoir: (Satellite) This is fed with a pipe from the Watson Dam.
Nov 1, 2026: It is designed to handle 10' (3m) of over topping. Note how water is blasting out of the outlet conduit, as it should be.

| Facebook Reel Latest update from our City Mgr Dallin Kimble as of Sunday 11/1 at 11:30 am below. The net is please stay home today! Our rescue crews have their hands full and don’t need to rescue you too. Watson is rising 3" about every 2-3 minutes. The recharge pipeline is open, the 36" valve is open, and the pipe to Willow is open, there is water flowing over the spillway, but there is just too much water coming into the lake. The dam is rated for water to be able to flow up to 10 feet over the top of the dam, but any amount of overage creates structural risk. SEE NEW VIDEO!! As of 11:30 am: We're now topping at Watson and Upper Goldwater. There's only about 6 feet of capacity left in Lower Goldwater. It will top as well. We're notifying the affected neighbors downstream. There are various areas around the city where we may need to close roads, including Willis. LaGuardia Bridge is doing well. The Prescott Lakes Parkway bridge is also holding up. Beyond our borders, Fain Lake Dam is overflowing in PV. They're also very concerned about Lynx Creek. Senator Highway has washed out and there are rescue operations underway in Groom Creek. A fire task force from Phoenix is on its way to help on the Verde side. Please stay home today Prescott! |
