FLORENCE- Magma Dam water levels increased by 14 feet, following last
night's four-inch rain.
The dam located west of Highway 79 and north of the Gila River, is
in no imminent danger of failure, officials said.
Although the water level has not increased in the past six hours,
Pinal County officials along with the Magma Flood Control District are
continuing to monitor the situation.
The Sheriff's Department has dispatched deputies to notify
residents in the Magma Ranch subdivision of the water levels behind
the dam.
These measures taken by the County and Magma Flood Control
District are precautionary.
There will be more updates if the situation warrants it.
