In Lyon County, Emergency Management and Road Department personnel are monitoring storm drainage throughout the Highway 50 corridor and South County, according to County Manager Jeff Page.
"Currently a number of drainages are taking water as designed and so far there have been no reports of property damage. Lyon County is watching the Atlas Retention Basin in southwest Dayton. After 2017 Crews repaired the retention basin and so far the basin is doing its job and holding back storm water," Page said. "Crews are notifying residents in the west end of the Rancho's of south east Dayton that there is a potential for minor to moderate flooding and that can change based upon weather conditions."
Also, water is making its way down the Virginia Range to the Tahoe Avenue Canal which dumps the water into Lahontan Reservoir. Crews report water over River Road in Dayton and are advising the public to stay out of the area. The River Road flooding comes from the Six Mile Canyon Drainage and is flowing through to the Rolling A Open Space.
