The Emery County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) shared information on Friday morning that Millsite Reservoir is spilling over.

Furthermore, water is flowing over the roadways at certain crossings. With the recent warmer weather, coupled with the heavy snowpack that is in the mountains, the water is fast, high and reportedly very cold in the creeks and rivers found throughout Emery County.

The ECSO also reported that Huntington Creek contains debris form wildland fires. They urged the community to use extreme caution when near waterways and to avoid the flooded areas as well as the unstable riverbanks.
