1 A River trestles Cayce

Congaree River water level is running high, cresting, after lots of rain

The Congaree River at Columbia crested at just under 20 feet (in minor flood stage) late Saturday morning, according to the Congaree Riverkeeper https://www.facebook.com/congareeriverkeeper

Then there was more rain Saturday night and Sunday morning, so river levels are expected to remain high for a few more days.

The Cayce and West Columbia Riverwalks are closed because of the flooding and the water level at Congaree River at Congaree National Park is high. The forecast is for it to remain in minor flood stage for a few days.

Dominion will increase flow releases through the weekend. See the current and planed operations of the Saluda Hydro. See hydro info here: https://www.dominionenergy.com/lake…/lower-saluda-river-sc
