April 26, 2017 Town Hall Recap by Mayor Ridgeway

Comm Specialist Tammy Gordon from City of Eagle

Spring is here and so is the Water! 

Eagleu2019s Town Hall Meeting of April 24 was focused on Flooding updates. Chief Patrick Calley, Eagle Police, Deputy Chief Jamie Vincent, Eagle Fire District, Doug Hardman with Ada County Emergency Management and Brandon Hobbs with the Army Corp Engineers were on hand to talk about flooding and answer questions to a standing room only crowd. I cannot over emphasize the professionalism of our water and emergency personnel and Eagle residents who asked excellent questions. As happened in the snow incident earlier this year, we are proving that neighbors are willing to help neighbors. 

With more information we receive here on a city level, we hope to help educate all of you to keep us all safe and in the know. Letu2019s get some facts on the Boise River as of today: 

The water is at a height of 11.3 feet at the Glenwood Bridge. 

The river has been flowing at about 8,900 cubic-feet-per-second (CFS). That is flood stage, but not yet so high that any public streets are under water, or bridges compromised, or neighborhoods evacuated u2014 and short-term forecasts show no change is imminent. 

The US Army Corps does not make predictions of what the water might be or when they might raise the flow however they do inform us as soon as they can about changes to increase or decrease the flow. 

Eagleu2019s beautiful trails, paths and greenbelts along the river are seriously compromised and CLOSED. I canu2019t tell you when they will be open again, it is unsafe for our trails folks to even assess what the damage is at this point so please be safe and stay off THE TRAILS, PATHS AND GREENBELT. Please donu2019t force us to start patrolling the area and issuing situations, it will divert personnel from more important tasks. 

The ground is saturated. The water table is coming up and you might have noticed the ponds and lakes in your subdivisions are increasing. The water is filtering in from ground water not necessarily from river water. 

The Army Corps completed a 4300 feet long temporary levee above Sunroc gravel pit near the head of Eagle Island, the outlook looks good in this area. 

If the water gets around the temporary levee or the gravel pit collapses from pressure from the river, we expect to have several hours to warn residents who live along the river near the gravel pit to leave their homes. 

If you live between the North and South channels or next to the river please take the advice given by our emergency personnel and plan for possible evacuation. Pack a bag with extra clothing, medications, food and anything you cannot do without for a few days. Plan for you pets and animals DO NOT wait until the last minute, it will be too late. 

Many residents and churches are beginning to offer, if needed, extra bedrooms, parking places for RVu2019s and general assistance to those who might be in need if we have a flood emergency. We will start posting information given to us on our City website. We will do our best to post and remove information as it comes however, it will be for information only and people will need to contact volunteers directly not through the City. 

If an evacuation order is issued, traffic in the evacuation area will be restricted to outgoing traffic. Ingoing traffic will be for emergencies only. Make plans, we hope they will not be needed. 

Evacuation may not be mandatory. However, utilities could be shut-off so the possibility exists that persons who do not evacuate will be without sewer, electricity, gas, and water. Again, make plans.
