Evacuation warning lifted in Valley Springs as Cosgrove Creek's conditions improve
An evacuation warning was issued in the Valley Springs area of Calaveras County due to rising water levels, officials said.
Officials said the water levels around Cosgrove Creek in the Valley Springs and La Contenta areas forced them to issue an evacuation warning.
The zones in the evacuation warning were CCU-105-A, CCU-104-A, CCU-106-B, CCU-078-A and CCU-079-B.
The warning was lifted on Christmas Day as water levels stabilized and conditions improved. Residents in the area should still be aware of changing conditions and monitor county communications.
The Calaveras Consolidated Fire said pre-filled sandbags were available on Vista de Lago Drive and Wellness Way next to the Mobile gas station in Valley Springs.
The Calaveras County Office of Emergency Services said it had prepositioned equipment and supplies for an evacuation shelter. The American Red Cross was notified.
This comes as an atmospheric river drops rain over much of California on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
