PERKINSVILLE ROAD CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING IN CHINO VALLEY

THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS AND SNOW MELT, COMBINED WITH THE RELEASE OF WATER FROM WATSON AND WILLOW LAKES, INITIATED BY CITY OF PRESCOTT, HAVE PRODUCED MORE WATER THAN THE SYSTEM CAN TOLERATE.

FAST-MOVING WATER HAS CONSUMED PERKINSVILLE ROAD, SO THE TOWN OF CHINO VALLEY HAS CLOSED EAST PERKINSVILLE ROAD AT THE OVERFLOW SITE. THE SWIFT-MOVING WATER IS DEEPER THAN IT APPEARS, MAKING THE ROADBED UNSTABLE.

IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP RESIDENTS SAFE, PERKINSVILLE ROAD WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL IT IS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NO LONGER A SAFETY THREAT. UNFORTUNATELY, NO TIMEFRAME HAS BEEN DETERMINED. MORE INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

RESIDENTS AFFECTED BY THE CLOSURE, THAT LIVE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, BEYOND THE OVERFLOW AREA ON PERKINSVILLE ROAD ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT YAVAPAI COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AT 928-442-5103 (CALL CENTER) OR BY CALLING THE YAVAPAI COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE AT 928-771-3321. OR VIA EMAIL AT WEB.EM@YAVAPAIAZ.GOV.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE BARRICADES OR TRY AND CROSS THE OVERFLOW AREA.
